By this logic, X/Facebook/Instagram/etc. are not communities, but "ecosystems"... after all, everyone controls their own posts. You can't force someone to post something you want. "Don't like what <celebrity> is posting? Follow one of the countless alternatives. Or start your own account! Here, you can even use this automated bot as a base for making the posts you'd like." Meanwhile, "whatever word you choose, you'd do well to remember that <platform> is first and foremost a method of collaboration between elites. Not an entitlement program for petulant users to get free stuff or a seat at the table where decisions are made."

But these social media platforms are clearly communities... they even have "community guidelines". Not to mention Github https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-c...

Well, if they have community guidelines… this definitely makes them a community, lol.
