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.

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.
