Everyone is asking "What's the next Twitter going to be" and bemoaning the fact that the userbase is splintering. But splintering is a GOOD thing. The internet would be a lot healthier, more diverse, in instead of 3 or 4 dominant platforms, we had dozens or even hundreds of upstarts. Yes, centralization is convenient, but as we're seeing, it's also dangerous. If the result of the Twitter turmoil is to drive people to a more diverse, less convenient, less centralized web, I say AWESOME.
@adamconover The web as designed is decentralized and *in theory* is at its best when decentralized!
And the best part is we already have the technology we need to make that happen. The primary focus should be helping people learn those new ergonomics after an era of large tech companies defining the shape of the web.
I am excited.
Also, loved the G word! Glad to see you here.
