    I don't know whether it matters that much at this point. Possibilities:

    1. The liberal forks don't last when lib developers realise there is nothing in it for them except a lifetime of developing it.

    2. The liberal forks eventually corporatise in a way that makes them fundamentally incompatible with the original goal of Lemmy which was to escape corporate control of social media.

    3. The forks continue and it works out fine achieving the original goal.


    If 1 or 2 happens, then the issue comes back to communists again.

    If 3 happens, it doesn't matter whether it's communists in charge or not the intended goal is achieved.

      Honestly i just see 3 not lasting for long and eventually becoming either 1 or 2 and then just bleed users and die, either way Lemmy would just out last them.
