When a service shuts down due to funding a lot of people say they can do it better for cheaper who seemingly aren't doing it better for cheaper

I think it's healthy to look into why something fails, but be careful with your comparison and respect the people working on these projects.

It's often not from a lack of trying or skill and it's easy to miss requirements and constraints when making comparisons.

@xssfox I suspect those are mostly people who never did comparable things. People who did, even if they _think_ they can do better for cheaper, will never go around claiming that, because they _know_ how wrong they can be in their estimate.
@xssfox I could do Facebook better for cheaper by just screaming antivax conspiracies at every boomer I see.

@xssfox I don't think cohost can be replicated easily without twitter being taken over.
