Jack Dorsey didn't make bluesky, was on their board of directors briefly until he ragequitted because they started moderating content
"jack Dorsey "whatevered" twitter, then he "whatevered " blue sky.
Linux wasn't consumer friendly until Ubuntu, Mac was an obvious alternative for average consumers in the early 00s. These things only pick up traction when the average user finds value in it. It's literally about the lowest common detonator user. That's just how consumerism works.
Yeah, so since the user isn't more knowledgeable then they deserve to stick with the shitty standard instead of buying a fashion product and being elitists about it.
If they wanted to be elitists they could have "switched" to Linux.
Linux is barely becoming a viable everyday option now, switching to it in the 2000s was not gunna work for most people. Glad it’s picking up steam but c’mon.
