    I actually kind of get his point. People in the US are addicted to convenience, and will actively accept harm and abuse for it. We might be better off being grateful they’re even leaving more established platforms and working with where they are going.

      The problem is this leads to an effect I’ve mentioned before: instead of dev and community efforts being invested in building good things, those efforts are spent “chasing tails”. In this case, chasing yet another “standard” that won’t be and where you are always going to play second-hand loser - and thus you are never goign to really “capture people”.
