I would like a future where smaller companies set up instances and compete with each other rather than one big evil business in control, and "normies" should be invited here, Don't like the mentality of everything new being the special little club for the early adopters.
I would really enjoy that. Something like a microsoft or bethesda lemmy instance and hosting a type of forum instead of maintaining their own separate forum.
If they don't like the way it is heading they could just develop their own fork of lemmy since it's open source.

That goes strongly against the mechanics of how capitalism works. Markets tend toward monopolies over time.
not always tbh.
If certain confounding factors prevent it, sure. Can you name a confounding factor in this case?
