Is the goal of the Fediverse to be anti-corporate/anti-commercial, or to be pro-openness? I think openness is the answer.

Okay this is a classic bait and switch. At this point I can't believe he's well intentioned anymore.

You can't be pro-openness if you open yourself to a nefarious corporation. This isn't mom-and-pop's social network, trying to make a living. This is a corporation famous for buying things and then closing access.

He's basically saying: Why are the hens closing their house to the fox? So much for "openness"!

I'm willing to bet he got paid by Facebook to write this little piece.

@yuki2501 nah. I don’t think Facebook would have to pay him. He probably thinks they are buddies 🤣@deadsuperhero

@antijingoist @yuki2501 @deadsuperhero
Yeah, why assume he's smart enough to get paid rather than just him being a useful idiot? ;-)

@oblomov Based on his writings it really is the most logical assumption @yuki2501 @deadsuperhero

@yuki2501 @deadsuperhero maybe not Facebook, but I bet his sponsor paid him well to take a contrarian view

@yuki2501 @deadsuperhero It would be a cozy explanation if Facebook paid him to write this disingenuous piece, but a simpler reason is that Gruber personally shares the capitalist infinite growth mindset which is such a dead end that you have to use bad faith to defend it.
