Great, now we might get some government attention. But we still have an ace up our sleeve:

What's that supposed to mean? All of Lemmy servers are open to the public. Anyone can read all the messages even without any accounts? The decentralised parts mainly prohibit shutting down the whole network easily, taking out one server wouldn't do much to the rest.

For me the decentralization means we can always take our party somewhere else if it gets enshittified.

Invite only instances are probably going to have to become a thing soon. Like how 99% of Reddit doesn’t let you comment with a new account until you look less like spam.

But at least here you will always be able to join/start a server to host your account.

if lemmy got popular overnight, wed prob get invite only instances where the requirement is having a lemmy account past a certain age

I don't think surveillance is the issue here (what would they spy on?), more so getting shut down. Which is also virtually impossible due to federation.
