I'm a simple man, I see a Dan post and I click.
I'm a bit concerned that the open web only won because of first mover advantage. What gives me hope is OSS winning.
I'd love to see something like atproto win though. It's clear that a major issue with social media is network effects preventing better apps from becoming popular.

One thing ATProto does is enable real competition in social apps, assuming they all run on the atproto fabric. One of the core hopes is that we can get everyone over to something like atproto once, to get them out of the silos, such that this is there last time they have to "move" their social network
- b_e_n_t_o_n 1y agoThe challenge will be that first move, yeah. Current social media companies have every incentive not to let users do that.
