I think the person you replied to is still stuck in the mindset of a siloed product, like reddit. Federation across instances means that there's little commercial value in any specific instance, in my view. If any specific instance was sold, and an attempt to monetize arose, I suspect people would simply abandon it for a new instance.

As an aside, lemmy/kbin need to implement a way to export/import follow lists.

    And notably after moving instance they would still have the same access to all the same posts, comments and content.

    On the export comment I agree too. Mastodon even lets you port your whole profile.

    Other people's posts / content. What about the user's own content? Sure plenty of people don't care, but there is a working set of people who do produce content online, who care about the visibility and longevity of their output.
