      open source startups are still part of the same ecosystem that fuels big tech. Big tech, being more powerful, can capture commons very easily and that’s true for the vast majority of open-source code. The very concept of open-source was conceived by a person with the same ideological and cultural background of the tech oligarchs now in power.

    Good. If you still work for Meta, you’re either a garbage prson, a bootlicker or a techbro.

    Get stepped on, and not in a kinky way.

      There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don’t bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won’t change much within meta.

        They’re still working for a company that engages in mass data collection and selling people’s private info to the highest bidder. A union at the company doesn’t make that ethical.

          Until it starts using its power to decide what technology and contracts are taken by the company. That’s the endgame of the tech labor movement and the labor movement in a lot of industries that deal with ugly stuff.

          Also there’s no ethical production under capitalism.

          By working for a company and thus make them dependent on your labor (to some degree) you have power. By not working for that company, you have no power.
