If only there was a way to coordinate everyone at once to say “we’ve had enough” and to switch all at once. But it seems people are trapped in the network effect of platforms they hate because leaving Twitter means losing followers.
- RetroTechie 3y agoThat's only a problem as long as you have followers, and care about that. Platforms like Twitter/X depend on network effects: more users = more value to users. But the reverse is also true: the more users leave, the less value to remaining users. And thus, a lower threshold for them to also leave. Once a critical point is passed, a platform can die real quick.
