> [@jelly5649](#): > > Or we could remain solely in the private garden of Elon and Zuck and call it a day Don’t confuse my preference for wanting to be be where people are with what I prefer. I’ve been openly critical of certain folks for reasons that should be obvious. 🚨 🚘 🚀 I think we agree more than disagree tbh. The friction is great when moving towards decentralization, and that requires more effort than most want to output. Example: lets look at the percentage of folks in this forum who use windows vs linux 🔍 🧙‍♂️ Im not sure this % will ever change in a meaningful way, as bad as I want it to. ---
