MODERATORS
Anyone with more than a single brain cell should move to federated/decentralized platforms with a "Don't pay but still have more rights than a Facebook user" approach
network effect – easy when it’s just you – but then you need to convince all your friends and family to switch over as well – and they’re not interested because it would mean convincing all their friends and family too … best you can hope for is a trust thermocline, a catastrophic event that’s more likely to leave millions of Facebook users floundering in anger than in curiosity at alternatives …
Hmm, never thought of that. I guess the reddit api fiasco was a catastrophic event.
