Everyone is aware of that. No one thinks Facebook or Mark are some saint entities. But while the spider is doing some good deeds why not just go "yeah! go spider!". Once it becomes an asshole, we will kill it. People are not dumb.
I'm not particularly concerned about the user limit. The companies for which those limits will matter are so large that they should consider contributing back to humanity by developing their own SOTA foundation models.
Stanley Parable / Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist are two (from the same devs) that stand out in recent memory. Myst (and Riven and there are like six total ending with a fully 3d Obduction) are cult classics and already referenced.
These are all sci-fi walking sims, which is the genre of "wander around a strange place trying to figure out what happened and/or how to get out". Some walking sims have more of a traditional narrative and some have less, some are short (under an hour) and others are longer, some are comedic and some are more serious. There are lots and lots that aren't sci-fi too.
Probably the most accessible here is Tacoma, but it can get pretty rough on Intel graphics. If you want a free one you could try Electric Highways or Off-Peak, or if you don't care that they're not sci-fi you could try Gravity Bone, A Bewitching Revolution or Dr. Langeskov (suggested in a sibling comment).

Maybe that's the biggest problem and your current solutions are inadequate?
Stop listening to people who say to stop listening to people trying to tell you what you should do or not. It is not all relative, there are good and bad choices.
Not hacking on a distro because someone thinks there are too many is one of those bad choices.
If you actually manage to get a distribution rolling with a viable community around it, it means enough people have decided that there weren't too many.
> Like what the hell did you do that you really don't want others to find out..?
It doesn't matter. This still applies even if you haven't done anything yet.
Nobody wants to be friends with the kid who narcs on everyone. Show me the man and I'll show you the crime he's committed. Why subject yourself to that?
What is not understandable here? Crypto is all about decentralization, Community Notes embodies that value (obviously not ideally, because Twitter still can decide to do whatever).
Community Notes is “decentralized” only in the sense that it’s derived from the collective action of multiple users. Do Hacker News scores embody the values of crypto? If not, why not? Because Community Notes uses more complicated math for its weighting system? How can we make that claim and not end up going back to the early days of Slashdot and declaring its user-driven moderation system to embody the values of crypto? Oh my god, was Commander Taco Satoshi all along?
Community Notes is an interesting example of collective moderation, but it’s an example of collective moderation, a long-standing thing that has nothing to do with decentralization as I think most people understand the term. The objection here, I think, isn’t to Vitalik’s interest in it — it’s to the “if all you have is a cryptocoin, everything looks a blockchain” mindset.
If “crypto values” literally just means “decentralisation” then just say decentralisation. It’s weird to invoke something that adds absolutely nothing to the comparison (unless, say, you’re trying to hype it up)
