What are you talking about? There's nothing stopping corporations from coming here and doing the same exact thing they've gone covertly on Reddit. If Lemmy becomes popular enough it will happen. Arguably it already has from certain interests and people here are extremely naive if they think it's not.

    I think the fediverse in general has a better chance because it's built on an anti-corporate philosophy, from the software, maintainers, admins, moderators, and much of the community (though increasingly less so, as it becomes more popular).

    If you have a problem with corporate influence on Reddit, then your ability to act on it ends with your subreddit's moderators. To the admins and owners of reddit, that kind of influence is a feature.

    Hell they can even monetize it, bake it right into the DNA of the back-end, give the corps a nice little API to poll, maybe some webhooks...

    That is not something I see happening on the fediverse as long as its open source and run by the community.
