Pushing free software/data and decentralized platforms, and boycotting proprietary software/data and centralized platforms, is not a "philosophical" matter. Or even an "ethical" one. And it's not opposed to "pragmatism".

To choose proprietary software/data and centralized platforms is to choose to get backstabbed and exploited. It's *inevitable*. History has proven it *time and time again.*

**Free software, free data, and decentralized platforms are the ONLY sane and pragmatic choice.**

Proprietary software/data and centralized services are a trap. Have you taken the bait? And are you encouraging others (through network effect) to do the same? πŸ‘€
