Those people can use any anodyne corporate option they 'choose' (read: Amazon). No one is stopping them.
Tbh, if someone thinks that corporations are cool and friendly, to the point where they're scared of using a non-corporate book club, then I wouldn't miss them. Their absence would actually be a big value proposition for me.
- vorpalhex 3y agoLots of FOSS stuff exists because of small capitalist corporations helping support, build features, host and so on. The project itself is hosted on Microsoft Github! Hm, I wonder if Bookwyrm is technically breaking their own license by hosting with Microsoft.. since git "copies" code.
