And if there's an audience that's not just engaging but spending money, then it's not dying. I'm pushing back on the mentality that any of this is a zero-sum game, not that Threads is a less viable platform.

Everyone complains about the "vibe" of the social network they're already on. While something like an algorithm or custom feeds can aid in curating a vibe, if you follow, have followers, and block folks across networks, you end up creating a vibe for yourself.Why should we allow a platform to dictate the vibe you want? Seems backward in a people-first network.

Something something people not platforms and so on

"Users shouldn't be locked in because they happened to choose a protocol by accident, simply because a platform met their needs at that moment. We didn't build Bounce because we expect users to migrate every week; we built it because something like it can and needs to exist."

I have a piece coming out this week on augment.ink that expands on this idea further, but Laurens teed it up perfectly for me

Love to hear it!
