We all know about how Reddit closed-sourced back in 2017 and will be killing off third-party apps this July, what will Lemmy.ml do to avoid facing the same fate? Reddit started off like this (open, aiming for freedom) and it all went downhill from there.
All you have to do is retain ownership and never do an IPO.
Having shareholders in a public market makes a company go evil.
The Lemmy Devs are kind of hardcore MLs, AFAIK so I doubt they will ever have an IPO, lol.
What does “ML” mean in this context?
Marxist-Leninist
Sorry for abbreviating in the previous reply, where this was not a wise thing to do.
Marxist-Leninist
