If Facebook and Reddit and Twitter are all going downhill, what leads people to believe that websites like Mastadon or Lemmy won't go the same way eventually?

The people running the instances (currently) don't run their sites as a business.

The federated protocol itself makes no difference; lemmy.world is a good 70% of the content and could essentially run this part of the fediverse if it wanted to, as it is close to a monopoly already.

Thankfully, they aren't greedy owners. They are fine with it "losing money" and not running ads and such.
