its true. the number of people motivated primarily by moral principle is too small for those who dream of global fame.

Still, its large enough for those who dont.

But if the use cases and interface suck that only goes so far.

if you have been banned as many times as me ( about a dozen times from Twitter, probably about 30 times from various parts of the internet combined ) you don't give a shit how bad the interface is.

the only place i haven't been banned from is GAB and their interface was as bad as this for the first couple years i was on there. freedom is not free. GAB CEO and his wife were both cancelled by credit card companies just for allowing free speech on his site.

my sacrifice of suffering with a shit interface is nothing compared to what others have sacrificed. there are people who have been exiled for speaking the truth. there are people who have been assassinated.

and i am supposed to complain that my interface is slow. NOPE.

you are part of the later group whose life experience has taught them the value of Freedom First.

Not all have learned this yet. But they will.

Still, with some developers there is

Silicon Valley hold over way of thinking where its considered “cool” and “smarter” to disregard simple principles like Freedom First in favor of catch phrase conversations about “incentives” and “mass adoption onboarding” which is really just of form of the pride of immaturity. But with the way things are headed, these people will either realize how serious things are getting, and adjust, or they’ll be naturally washed out. Regardless of talent level. In the end there will be State tech, and freedom tech.

"mass adoption onboarding" is high time preference also. Filtering content towards that end is manipulation. It's a slippery slope that turns asymptotic before you realise it.
