    Not corporate-owned…yet.

    In my experience, which is pretty similar to the author’s, it always finds a way.

      Agreed, it does seem to always find a way. Hopefully it takes longer due to the nature of each instance being separate. The recent apoplexy at Threads joining the Fedivervse seems to indicate that many users are aware of the need to not have anything to do with any monied interests beyond server costs.
