        When somebody thinks that something like react.js wouldn’t be possible without capitalism, you can only laugh or cry. If you really can’t understand that open source existed long before corps started messing with it, then you’re an utter ignoramus not worth having a discussion with.

          I don’t think you understand what I have said. React.js would be possible without capitalism. But it is made by Facebook (capitalist company). And it must be a really reliable choice if Facebook and Mastodon decided to use it

            The internet itself exists despite capitalism, not because of it. It was a public research project.

            See, we can both cherry pick.

              And you think internet would be as good as it is today without these companies that invest a lot of money to enhance it and hence make more money?

                Of course. The infrastructure that underlies it has barely changed. You really don’t know much about the subject, clearly.

                    5G internet is a misnomer. It’s 5G mobile network, with access to the internet.

                    That’s just an upgrade of existing mobile infrastructure. The internet itself did not change. In fact, cellular technology is only tangentially related to the internet in that it can also connect to the internet.

            I’m not sure what’s so special about react.js being made by a capitalist company. Saying that Mastodon uses a popular library that happened to come out from a commercial company is some kind of gotcha is frankly incoherent.
