    I mean I know why ppl are scared it will kill off the fediverse, but the only thing that can kill off the fediverse is the Devs. As long as they don’t sell it or start involving a bigger company in the development, we are fine. And pull requests are transparent and therefore not a thread with enough common sense.

    I see the risk but I don’t think it’s that imminent.

      It’d be best to avert the risk while it’s not imminent though

      Even if they did, whatever open source code is available before they sold the code will always be under that license, meaning if you have an older version of the code you could simply fork it and start a new project with the same codebase. Furthermore, Lemmy is under the AGPL which means you couldn’t even rerelease it under a different license.
