Why are people saying that Lemmy is free of corporate interest?
Can’t a corporation just enter the space whenever they want to? Can’t they start or even buy out larger instances? Even if Lemmy does take off, wouldn’t this inevitably happen anyway if the space gets popular enough?

I don't know how much electricity costs where you live, but running a RasPi 24/7 would cost around £2 per month here. Then you also need to factor in internet costs, backups, maintenance, etc. You can get a VPS from £5 per month with everything included. You can get something even cheaper if you really want to. There's literally no point running anything at home, except for Home Assistant.
And yes, everything is open. You just want weird things.
A VPS is rented
Thats like not understanding why people own a home I mean yah i coul get a static ip i guess that would actually make sense
It's not the same as owning a home. Also you can put your own hardware on premises or rent a static IP address. All of your arguments are nothing but ignorance.
