It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they've done this, what's the likelihood that they'll do something even worse later?

Fair enough. I fear that a lot of the damage that's being done will be very difficult to undo, and that any power we or the government had against corporations and billionaires is on a seemingly irreversible downward trend, barring some dramatic development.
If it helps, here's a (partial) list of ActivityPub software - I'm not sure why it doesn't include things like Friendica or Owncast: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub
But regarding your question, the first example that comes to mind is PeerTube. Not only does it look to me like it was designed from the start with federation in mind (I don't know this for a fact though), but it also seems pretty innovative with its use of peer-to-peer video streaming. This 2 minute animated video does a good job of explaining what it does: https://framatube.org/w/217eefeb-883d-45be-b7fc-a788ad8507d3
Owncast seems somewhat similar.
It seems that most Fediverse/ActivityPub software is a "twist" on something that existed previously, but there is still a lot of innovation going on, instead of pure copies of existing centralized platforms.
Kayaker identified as "Person Swallowed by Whale" in interview. What a legend.
I was curious about this too, particularly if and how well the Meta Quest 3 mirroring/tethering or whatever they call it works.
Corporations can get away with unreasonably and unjustifiably raising prices because government power to control them decreases year by year, and is just about to be completely extinguished in the US by the current administration. Same thing with corporations violating the law - it's just a little further behind. This has been a continuous process of the people with money and power dismantling all the systems that can keep them in check over the last several decades.
What factory? Not many of those around the US anymore. Amazon warehouse is more like it.
Look, I don't doubt that some of what you outlined had a role in inflation. But unlike you, I think that absolving corporations of blame here is the real copout.
Your last paragraph makes it sound like the poor, innocent corporations didn't have a choice and were forced to crank their profits up when they saw a $$$ opportunity, because what else were they to do in the middle of a pandemic ravaging the country? Poor angels!

That's a valid concern.
