Let’s say Lemmy acquires the critical mass of users, continues to gain in popularity. Eventually someone will offer a large sum of money, the platform grows, new owners look towards an IPO, the goals shift, yadayada… How is different this time?

I think there needs to be a way to migrate accounts easily to another instance in this case. If im on Lemmy.world and they mess up so I want to use Beehaw or something then (it looks like?) I have to make a new account essentially (I could be wrong on that im still figuring this out)
Currently this is correct. Account migration is a thing that is technically possible, they just have to implement it. However, I don’t think you would lose much anyway? Your username would be available on the other instances and yeah your posts are not under the exact account but you’re not exactly building a YouTube channel here.
