it won't take long for big companies to come knocking, trying to take over our communities. what's the plan of action then? do we have to fear suing?

If Meta or Google tries to buy your instance, you can migrate to another one. They can't buy them all up.

I'm confused about what they would be suing for? Based on the example of Nintendo, if people were sharing links to download Switch games or something, yeah then you would have a copyright concern.

But Nintendo can't sue anyone for simply talking about Nintendo products. Forums have existed since the birth of the internet, and they'll exist long after whatever happens to Reddit, for example.
