Let's say Lemmy acquires the critical mass of users, continues to gain in popularity. Eventually someone will offer a large sum of money, the platform grows, new owners look towards an IPO, the goals shift, yadayada... How is different this time?

An instance that gained its popularity starting off not federate with others? Not possible right? How the hell do you attract another instance's users if you don't federate?

An instance that start off federating but ended up breaking off? How is it supposed to retain its users from other instances?

Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.
