I think this is the beauty of federation. Everything is open and free to all rather than a company being able to lock in your personally created content.

For example, I wanted to learn about NLP and am working on building a bot to monitor sentiment and check for hate speech in lemmy content. I am still at the brainstorming/research phase, but the accessibility of lemmy makes it really nice.

Pythorhead was made for this exact purpose.
