I wonder about this, and not in any confident sort of way. social networks have experienced exodus in the past while coexisting at a different time e.g. digg -> reddit, but ownership of these platforms could be seen as decisive.
the question I'd pose to/as the ecosystem: is the "delta" of tools like buoy, farhouse, etc also carrying a more general, FOSS platform for "bazaar vs garden" DX? in other words, when people try to commercialize social network + media feed, or some sliding scale of either, is it trivial to fork this experience without incurring further technical debt?
to further entertain the thought experiment, which is the better at-cost searching apparatus? twitter/stacks may both be filling in the lower quality search, but as far as leading-edge, it's not like farcaster clients are close as is. so maybe it's a jagged duple like today, where journalists might frequent stacks for personal commentary, and twitter for remaining to relay breaking news, source by source, checking bluesky just in case. 0 reply
