I don’t mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.

    It’s not truly decentralized, it’s federated. So if lemmy devs change things, each instance can choose whether to pull those in or continue with its current version, potentially defederating as necessary.

        I mean instances are not decentralized, they are federated. When I say “decentralized,” I mean how BitTorrent is decentralized, as in there’s no central server where everything happens. Lemmy is federated, which means there are multiple centralized instances that communicate with each other.
