I'm sorry, but it's a classic generic ideological tangent to take a thread about SaaS into "the Global North's historic and continued plundering of the Global South". If we allow that, every thread will eventually turn into a generic ideological flamewar. That's how the internet works by default, and one must make a conscious effort to prevent that if one wants to prevent it, which we do. Comments like yours lead precisely to comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22153317, and worse, so please don't do that here.

If you're sincerely worried about the moderation favoring one ideology over another, you're welcome to look through the many past occasions where I've posted moderation comments about this: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... We don't keep any counts, but you'll find plenty of examples of every side getting the same sort of moderation reply when commenters take a thread in this sort of direction.
