It's a valid point. We can't expect to be free of corporations and also expect people to maintain servers for free. Running a service costs someone somewhere, and running a massive service can't easily work relying on just donations. I'd be happy to pay a small monthly/yearly fee to a nonprofit to guarantee an independent server, rather than to be a product to be traded.
Exactly. Non profit. I don't recall seeing that in this article. I don't think it matters what the business model is. If your social media is a for profit company their interests aren't the same interests as the user.
