The more bummed I feel about the many ways corporate social networks trap us in their silos, the more grateful I am that we built @FontsInUse as a website, and invested in open protocols – HTML, RSS, and now ActivityPub.
When I see another bright young talent building their thing on a corp’s platform (IG) I want to shake ’em and say, “You will regret this later!” I get it, that’s where the eyes are (right now), but it’s not worth handing the keys to your future over to Meta. Put it on the web!
