Regarding the recent #Meta / #Fediverse kerfuffle, and as someone who's been using open platforms and Free Software since the early 90s, I think this is a non-issue.
#Linux was embraced by corporations way back in the early 00s, and yet here it is in 2023 as cool and as robust as ever.
Open platforms are just that, open. People and corporations will use them as they see fit. It's folly to try to control them.
