In light of recent Twitter changes, going further, I'm going to focus on mediums that I 100% control.

Meaning my own Mastodon instance, self-hosted blog, and newsletter.

It sucks investing a decade into Twitter and having to pay so I can reach my friends.

I'm not willing to pay, not only because pay-to-win sucks, but because it opened my eyes to what social networks do - appropriating your content and connections without any guarantee for the future.

@koss Lots of services also first lure people in and once they've reached critical mass, they start to worsen the deal by limiting stuff behind paywalls and whatnot.
Once you've got plenty of connections on a platform it becomes increasingly difficult to switch over to a new one and the companies realize this.

@chertograd yeah, network effect is sticky but I’m confident in musk’s ability to destroy it
