I think the fediverse in general has a better chance because it's built on an anti-corporate philosophy, from the software, maintainers, admins, moderators, and much of the community (though increasingly less so, as it becomes more popular).
If you have a problem with corporate influence on Reddit, then your ability to act on it ends with your subreddit's moderators. To the admins and owners of reddit, that kind of influence is a feature.
Hell they can even monetize it, bake it right into the DNA of the back-end, give the corps a nice little API to poll, maybe some webhooks...
That is not something I see happening on the fediverse as long as its open source and run by the community.
