Many times, I've seen arguments made like this: "I'd try Mastodon, but I already have Twitter followers", or "I'd like to use OSM, but Google Maps has better data for my city", or, in my case, "I'd like to use sr.ht, but GitHub has better discoverability".

Platforms for which popularity improves the utility of the service are skewed in favor of the incumbents. New platforms face a chicken-and-egg problem. You have to decide - will you help it, or exacerbate it? Those are the only two choices you have.

Don't let that cool new platform die in obscurity while you wait for it to become popular.

1) A donut has a hole in the middle
2) You can eat a donut
3) You cannot eat a hole

=> the world is positively littered with un-eaten, left over donut holes

Sure, to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe. But to make plans for later this year you must first imagine a whole civilisation.

March 2020 was the month that you learned whether or not, if you got sent to prison for a crime you didn’t commit, you’d emerge well-read and fantastically ripped.

@GreenandBlack @spacekookie@octodon.social I'm interested in this, do you have any link that describe your POV in more details? I thought anarchism is more about making your own mind on things, than contradicting authority by default
