I didn't say it was a protocol flaw. It's a flaw in our attempt to just rebuild what we already know, instead of putting more thought into the workflows.

My point is the opposite:

The protocol and other innovations make a lot of complicated stuff bizarrely easy, and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface of it because we've been caught up in rebuilding stuff we're used to.

There are entire use cases that are only feasible, now, and they suddenly became feasible for everyone, everywhere, at almost no cost.

Like, someone on here was recently talking about real estate data.

You know who has the best real estate data? The old lady on the street the houses are on. Think about what that means.

We should focus on onboarding?

I mean, to ask the question is to answer it.

Why do the clients all have timestamp order?

Because Twitter does.

Why do we have follows?

Because Twitter does.

Why do we have mutes?

Because Twitter does.

Why are we against deletes?

Because we've seen people try to rewrite history on Twitter.

If every decision you make is based upon "do Twitter better", you will end up with 50 variations of Twitter and little else.

But we want the OtherStuff.
