@jtolio@hachyderm.io The problem that many folks have with corporations isn't that they're "not playing by the rules", though. It's that they *exist*, particularly in a community environment. There is no set of rules that can solve that problem.

Corporations will always, *always* act in their own best interest first, no matter how nice and hacker-y their outward communications may be, and no matter who runs the place. It is their reason for existence, part of the fundamental fabric of what makes a corporation a corporation.

In other words: they can never be genuine community participants, because they are always there for selfish reasons, not for the sake of the community. "Playing nice" just means that those reasons are more carefully disguised.

Thus: many people just don't want them here, regardless of the circumstances.
