A minor point: We need to take care to distinguish #NetworkEffects versus #SwitchingCosts.

A “network effect” is often good for the people affected (more people in the system makes it more appealing to join that system) and we typically want that effect.

A “switching cost” is typically bad for the people affected: Anyone already in the system, must give up something when they try to leave.

We need to *lower* the hostile switching costs, and retain the beneficial network effect.

I pushed a post “Mastodon kinda hates AI” that is basically what it says on the tin https://nathanherald.com/posts/mastodon-kinda-hates-ai/

I saw this post by 1Password https://1password.social/@1password/116569353856438624 and the replies were pretty overwhelmingly negative on Masto, but not anywhere else.

Do you see the same thing? Is it good/bad/neutral that Masto overall has biases?

You're right! Ideal is too strong for the case, as we'd better chose something else. Maybe viable/possible would fit better. However, #WordPress 43% adds #networkeffects to #opensourceinnovation. Otherwise, how would #Brazilianmuseums, which are among the most defunded institutions on the planet, have the muscle to be part of this conversation? The opportunity that the #pluginecosystem opens up for #sustainable #freesoftware development was key to bringing us here.

In his insightful article, Paul Krugman unpacks Cory Doctorow's concept of "enshittification," illustrating how internet platforms degrade from user-friendly to exploitative monopolies. This process isn't isolated to social media; it affects any networked business, leading initially to user attraction but ultimately to stagnation through profit-focused practices. The psychological toll on users and leaders is profound.

Microsoft Windows+Office for $55?

What happened?

Usually cheap MSFT license offers are a sign of Linux gains somewhere but I'm not seeing it this time

LibreOffice for Steam OS is taking off?

They're selling at a loss because it makes you train their "AI"?

There's some market share number they need to tweak upward to keep some stock analyst happy?
