Hey guys, just so you know. In the future
If private company = company will fuck you over to your and their own detriment.

Public companies are almost more likely to do this, no? They have shareholders to appease instead of just private interests.
They mean go use NGOs.
For profit companies should be illegal

Nonprofits and government entities are just as happy to fuck you over, in my and relatives’ experience.

Huh? Are we not all trying to promote Lemmy and reduce Reddit’s power? What examples do you have? Being nonprofit and especially FOSS is a huge factor.

“Just as” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, IMO. Can they be subverted against the people they are supposed to serve? Of course. Is it as likely as a for-profit corporation doing it? Hell no, I’d say.
