Makes sense from a business point of view. Build a moat and what not.
- akoncius 4y agoget a lot of users by building good product, instead of restrictions
- kvakvs 4y agoThis is about locus of control: if twitter wants to do something about users hopping to and using a competitive platform, can they change some settings in twitter? Yes they can. Can they stop users activity on Mastodon or force them back? No, they can not. So they're doing what they can, rather than passively allowing it to continue.
- that_guy_iain 4y agoThey already have the users. It’s about stopping them from leaving. And Twitter is arguably a better product by miles than Mastodon.
- agluszak 4y agoThat's a great example of the "business point of view" and usability going in exactly opposite directions.
- that_guy_iain 4y agoUsability for people who don't use your product shouldn't really be a concern for someone building a product.
