Lol are you serious? What, did you want a little bubble on the internet where corporations don't exist? What does "open source" mean to you, open to only the entities you allow in? Like the article says, join an instance that defederates every corporate entity or make your own, but don't blame developers of open source software for keeping it open.
Unfortunately, I believe the embrace, extend extinguish, model needs to be taken into account.

Here is some food for thought, if you or anyone else hasn't seen it yet.
Everyone has seen it, it isn't food for thought. It's a Microsoft playbook from the 90s/early 00s that wasn't even targeting open source software and wasn't even successful as a means of targeting competitive freeware.
Dude quit being a dick. You work for Facebook or something? This is a real conversation. This isn't reddit, this isn't facebook, this isn't twitter. We don't just dunk on people here.
How on earth is that "dunking"? Disagreeing with you is being a dick now? Jesus lol
