When you're competing against goliath first-moved closed platforms, pragmatic eventual-decentralization makes sense.
What use is first delivering today's table stakes features 5 years from now, albeit fully decentralized and open?
- wmf 2y agoTwitter is over ten years old so arguably all its competitors are "late". Bluesky doesn't have 5 years of runway though.
- ncallaway 2y agoYea, especially when their rational is DMs are the most asked for feature. Build a good enough version now, and then tackle the end to end encrypted fully decentralized version. The cheap version can give them the breathing room to build the better version.
