The fight was already lost, we must now fight the consequences of our defeat. Every year google squeezes its hold and introduces new chrome 'features' to serve its purposes. Platform capitalism seems to have come to a new stage, consolidation of power, closing off borders. Maybe now people will come to realize why protocols matter, and you can't replace them with APIs.

- nathias 3y agothere was lots of us, but far far too few to make a difference
- flagrant_taco 3y agoUnfortunately protocols seem to have no chance as long as people just want convenience and immediate gratification. For companies there's no profit in protocols, we love talking about motes and with data that means owning users' data and clutching onto like Gollum with his precious ring.
