Is there any reason Lemmy isn't doomed to repeat Reddit's path? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Lemmy is FOSS and there are lots of servers. if you dissatisfied with one of them you just move to other servers or maybe fork the code. So, the chances are slim
