Earlier today there was a post about rejecting Meta’s intrusion in the fediverse, some don’t see the danger in it or think it’s unlikely that Meta can do any damage to the fediverse.
Someone posted this in the comments and I think it’s extremely relevant and it deserves its own post so all can see it.
That can happen whether it is an existing corporation or an instance that is large enough to do it by itself.
Lemmy.world currently dominates a lot of activity; it has a ton of users and typically has a majority of top posts. If Lemmy.world defederated, it could possibly survive on its own outside of the federation.
