Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing (yiffit.net)

Thankfully options like this are becoming available because it's really annoying to need to continually "digitally migrate" away as these corporate controlled websites become enshittified.

We do have a term for that, it's a little bit of a trigger-word for certain demographics, but the correct term is socialism.

The largest (at least well funded) socialist organization in the world is the US military...

If everyone got the shit I got as a disabled vet, we'd all be a lot better off and the only negative would be rich people have a slightly lower high score that's 100% irrelevant to how their quality of life is.

From empirical evidence we learned that no way in socialism we can enjoy this kind of freedom of expression.

No it isn't. A company can be formed to be the steward of either or both the Lemmy source code or popular instances, which would be run by a CEO. I bet anything these corporate structures naturally form as people try to monetize the community and seek investment to gain control over the ecosystem.

The hurdle to that is much greater here since there's a common protocol adopted by multiple open source projects (of which Lemmy) which allows interoperability. If a profit-driven group would try to capture it, people could move instances/use a fork/use a different but similar activitypub project like kbin, etc.

At least I think that's correct? It seems to me there are multiple lines of defense which each have a good amount of redundancy.
