You're right! Ideal is too strong for the case, as we'd better chose something else. Maybe viable/possible would fit better. However, #WordPress 43% adds #networkeffects to #opensourceinnovation. Otherwise, how would #Brazilianmuseums, which are among the most defunded institutions on the planet, have the muscle to be part of this conversation? The opportunity that the #pluginecosystem opens up for #sustainable #freesoftware development was key to bringing us here.

8/8 Strategic collaborations aren't just about reach - they're about multiplying conversion rates through shared authority.

Coming soon MokuLabs will help creators matchmake for collaborations cause why not.

This diagram, taken directly from the U.S. v. Google judgment, illustrates a fundamental dynamic of digital market power:

Data Aggregation → Market Dominance

This self-reinforcing loop is the core issue with Big Tech platforms: scale isn’t just an advantage — it becomes a moat. And without regulatory intervention, it shuts the door on competition.

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.

• If #IT was developed and maintained that way, we'd not have #Linux or even #Windows, most likely not even #CPM & #UNIX because "everyone uses punchcards and tubes, so stop complaining!"...

#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…

• I just don't vibe with that appeal and would rather #SelfHost than compromise. If that makes me an outlyer then I'm happy to pay that price!

But if I was wrong, I 'd not be called upon as a Linux #Sysadmin and to act as "#BenevolentDictator" in terms of Tech Stack Decisions...
