@danyork @darius @noracodes I think almost everyone has had a bad experience with siloed social networks. They've had an account frozen for using a forbidden keyword. Or they've put a lot of time and effort into a service that shut down with little warning. Or had to slog through signing up for yet another service just to connect with a friend or family member there. I think we can make the case that having your own service is long-term beneficial, especially for businesses, schools, cities.
