This doesn’t really make sense without a well reasoned out argument.
How can your opinion outweigh that of the various decision makers who originally agreed to implement it…?

- schneems 2y ago> Berners-Lee, the creator of the Web, chose the name “World Wide Web” because he wanted to emphasize that, in this global hypertext system, anything could link to anything else https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/01/why-the-web-is-called-the-world-wide-web/ https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/01/why-the-web... The net is fundamentally about linking things together.

- jazzyjackson 2y agoBerners-Lee was brought up as a rejoinder to various decision makers who originally agreed to implement it, being that the www is more original than twitter, and fwiw he's not an American. It's quite exasperating to find someone arguing that there is some benefit to regression towards applications which don't link into other applications. Why be on the web at all?
- MichaelZuo 2y agoYou haven’t addressed the question. Why does it matter what he thinks or thought about this or that topic? Opinions can’t suddenly transmute into facts, regardless of anyone that has ever existed in human history.
- error_logic 2y agoIf someone limits your options to only two, or even one source of resources, are you better off? This discussion thread emerged from the suggestion of "maybe that's a good thing." Is it? It's a question of trust, competition, and whether there's so much destruction of honest competition that only the destructive and twisted competition remains, keeping people afraid to venture into the unknown, willing to perpetuate the cycle of destroying competitors and endangering civilization itself.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoHow does this relate to the prior comment?
- error_logic 2y agoA walled garden can protect, or it can enslave. Eye of the beholder. This thread was about creating a walled garden by downranking external links.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoThis comment is so deep in the comment chain that it makes no sense to talk generally about this when the thread starting comments are available for you to reply too… Take it to one of the parent comments.

- jazzyjackson 2y agoAre we not talking about opinion vs opinion ? What twitter engineers think is good for twitter vs what web engineers think is good for the web ? I don't really follow what your assertion is, I would be happy to elaborate my position if you elaborate yours.
- meiraleal 2y agothere’s just one decision maker in Twitter
- Applejinx 2y agoNow there is. Didn't used to be, and it cost a startling amount of money for that to be the case, and it was done to achieve a purpose rather than to make Twitter better at being Twitter. Something of a pyrrhic victory, that.
