is it just me, or is the entire #gnome ecosystem virtually integrated into accomodating bigtech and bigtech only?

i recently tried to reach out to developers and met a wall of amazon, fastly, microsoft and cloudflare. i don't think its possible to meaningfully contribute the gnome ecosystem without being poached/disrupted by the corporates.... pretty sucky :(

I honestly don't understand what are your objections to infrastructure requirements, really. We have had our own (donated) infrastructure for more than two decades, but it's really hard to make it work on minimal staffing and volunteer time. For instance: we just got hit twice in a month by a bunch of AI web scraping that broke everything, with contributors unable to actually do anything. The price of the admission to play in this space is higher than 20 years ago.
