Gregory's Server@mike @mastodonmigration @evan To use a capitalist/business comparison (ugh), it's like refusing to let Walmart carry your products being a defense of your business, because at some point you will either be beholden to Walmart supply chains or standards or such, or Walmart selling your products will mean *no one* is buying them from you anymore, etc

@mike @mastodonmigration @evan either way, the best idea is to keep Big Blue Corporation out in the first place, *before* they devour and engulf everything special, unique, local - and then either run away with it or implode |
@mike @mastodonmigration @evan and then, your/your invention's/business's fate is entirely tied to Walmart, and that's worked out really poorly for people who've either sold out, been bought out, or been overwhelmed, because when the Walmart fails or goes out locally - they can't just pick up and start where they were before that
