That's why I've long thought the most sustainable way for the #fediverse to grow is at the edges.
Every person who wants to lead their people out of the DataFarms knows what matters to their community, and what pain points or new possibilities might motivate them to shift to community-controlled tech. We know which services are needed, and what apps will appeal. We know how to support transition.
I wrote about this back in 2023;

After previously pushing #Neo4j to correct their abuse of the #AGPL our sister organisation the @fsf now submitted an amicus brief to defend #softwarefreedom . The #GNU licenses were designed to empower users and it is important that we as #FreeSoftware community make sure this is understood.

Whether or not the #Firefox obnoxious "Terms of Use" actually come into effect, the @mozillaofficial corporate management have shown us their arses. We cannot trust them again.
The current leadership of #MozillaCorp have failed the primary job of that organisation:
* Be a champion for #SoftwareFreedom, #UserFreedom, and #Privacy on the #OpenWeb.
* Maintain and promote the excellent, #StandardsCompliant, reference web browser for everyone.
* That's all.
Workers, boot the leadership out.
