If I found out the admin of the Lemmy instance I’m using was hosting it on Oracle I would delete my profile immediately without a second thought.

Agreed. I still feel dirty for taking Google's side in that ridiculous lawsuit Oracle filled after buying Sun. Only Oracle would try to make money from licensing fees for APIs...wait a minute...has Spez been talking to Elon Musk AND Larry Ellison?
