        Maybe, though I wouldn’t be surprised if some social marketing shit-bags already have accounts on various instances.

          Lemmy would need to become significantly popular for it to be worthwhile for them to manipulate it; they might be laying the groundwork now. However, only time will tell. If Lemmy does become more popular, hopefully people here can effectively counteract any manipulation.

        It will be. We are just not sure yet how because it precisely doesn’t work like reddit or Facebook. But I am sure there are ways to manipulate here too, it may just be more elaborate.
