we've been saying that it's really important for those of us who've lived through previous megacorp attacks on free software ecosystems to TEACH that history
we're pleased to report that there's an article now which rehashes a lot of relevant stuff in some detail. regardless of what you feel about the proximate decisions around the fediverse and Facebook, or of whether you even participate in the fediverse at all, knowing the history can only help
definitely. a super important concept that more people should know. the implication we take from it personally is that it's important to always be pushing the envelope of what's acceptable to corporations, always moving further away from it. thus it's an ongoing process, not something that can be done once and not thought about again.
Maybe there should be a "paradox of openness" corollary to the paradox of tolerance. Open platforms should not be open to participants who don't reciprocate openness
...if this didn't exist before, i'm citing you as the source for this idea from here on out. saving this observation; it's a very good one
