Yea I agree that if you give people within a cage comforts from food, good internet, a pc, and so on, they'd want to remain in that cage. If all the good stuff is outside of that cage, then they'd want to leave it to get it.

I guess what must be done is to have people make amazing products, the best products, and have them only accessible on non-caged systems. Though if we're talking about open-source projects, that'll be difficult considering someone can come along and just fork the project and put it up on iOS store.

I guess there's no winning here?

let's say there's a ffmpeg fork out here that promises to be "memory safe". it's there, but do you think it's still able to kept itself consistent?

there are also fuck ton of people wanting to replace linux, but in the end they ended up using the original instead of the fork.

what do you think?

now say if Damus was on Android Play Store and it has zap button instead of the one that's in Apple's App Store, what do you think people would do?

True. There'll always be desire to get the original and not the copy, as most of the time it's the better version.

And ya in regards to an original on a non-caged system vs a copy in a caged system, there'll always be more and better features with the original on the non-caged system.

So yea, it seems like that is the solution, to just keep building the best apps out there on non-caged systems. For those who want to enjoy its benefits, they'd switch, otherwise they'll stay caged without it or use a low-quality copy by someone else.

What killed migration before was false kindness. What enables migration is visible inequality.

and damus notedeck will be the ultimate showdown of it.
