Or Instagram, Facebook, reddit.... Lemmy. I guess Lemmy isn't a company so we have that going but if it's not your own instance you are technically doing work for someone else.
Lemmy is more akin to helping out a community open-source project than helping out a company
At least Lemmy data is public for anyone to read. I don't care that much if random groups are sucking up all this data for themselves - it's worth it in my opinion because it means good actors can use it for good too. If it were all going to one company, I would be less happy about the fact that they could just black hole it all for nobody's benefit but their own.
