To where? GitLab? [1] Microsoft is almost a trillion dollar company, GitLab is valued over a billion dollars, none of those signatories have enough revenue pull to matter.

Vote, protest [2], run for office [2]. No other actions provide for material change.

That was the point of the comment you're responding to, I'm almost certain. They just said the same thing as you with less detail and more sarcasm.
