    I won’t even volunteer feedback to companies when they ask for it, and they incessantly ask for it.

        I don’t put up with for-profit companies any more than I have to. I don’t support them or do charity work for them. Corporate brands are not out friends.

          What non-profit company did you get the computer you are currently using to type these messages from?

            Do you think that’s a clever gotcha? I said, “I don’t put up with for-profit companies any more than I have to.”

            Edit to add: For a free & commercial free & non-profit social media platform with a FOSS focus, there’s a surprising amount of corpo simping going on here.

              So, I suppose, every company should be non-profit, in your eyes? Everyone should just volunteer their time? I’m just wondering how your utopian society is supposed to function?

              You’re never going to have free computers. Framework represents the opposite of everything big corpos stand for.

              Businesses can be for-profit and still ethical. In fact, the vast majority of them are. It’s only the wildly wealthy and powerful ones that are shit. Taking a stand against them is incredibly naive and ignorant.

      Well that’s your prerogative but I’ve no idea what that has to do with this conversation. Nobody should be allowed to do it because you don’t want to do it?

      Companies ask for feedback so they can make products people actually want to buy…you have a problem with that as well?
