What to do now?

Don’t trust corporations, especially those where one egomaniac has all the power. Use open-source and community driven solutions if you can (like Mastodon).

    I disagree with the second part, publically traded companies are forced by shareholders to lay off workers and sabotage long term plans for short term profits.

    The problem isn’t whether one egomaniac majority shareholder capitalist or 1,000 egomaniac shareholder capitalists let their greed do the managing.

    The problem is capitalism.

      The problem is that we rely to much on proprietary software just because people want money. We’re seriously losing billions of work hours in efficiency loss because our society can’t monetize free software. Now we have to reinvent twitter.
