Those people can use any anodyne corporate option they 'choose' (read: Amazon). No one is stopping them.

Tbh, if someone thinks that corporations are cool and friendly, to the point where they're scared of using a non-corporate book club, then I wouldn't miss them. Their absence would actually be a big value proposition for me.

Lots of FOSS stuff exists because of small capitalist corporations helping support, build features, host and so on.

The project itself is hosted on Microsoft Github! Hm, I wonder if Bookwyrm is technically breaking their own license by hosting with Microsoft.. since git "copies" code.
