People keep following this pattern:
- Join social network
- Build a network there
- The experience gets shittier due to chasing profits <<
- The site becomes a trash heap
- People struggle to leave because their network is there
- Eventually people leave for new social network
- Rinse and repeat
<< is where things always go wrong. Bluesky is already at that stage due to VC funding.
Meanwhile, an open fediverse is a network we own, so avoids that pitfall (hopefully).
