@Sandelinos Those particular examples are suspect, too: Mastodon has attempted to colonize the pre-existing federated network with a number of problematic cultural-change campaigns, this being part of that pattern; and git and the Linux kernel were both under duress with blackmail threats aimed at Linus Torvalds.

However, I mention the "others are doing it" point only because you did; it's not a positive argument "against," only to be hesitant about one of the arguments made "for."
