   It’s depressing that there is probably an entire generation of people who only got to know the internet through venture capital driven apps and companies that only cared about manipulating people for their attention. And don’t fool yourselves, we (the people who grew up on the open web) let that happen as well.

   In some sense we’re back to the late 90s with *the open web* being a thing that a lot of people explore for the first time now.

     @esther this is what I attribute the defeatist narrative to when it comes to monolithic platforms. They've never known anything else.

     @esther I very much hope we can not only normalize the open web again but also push people into using #FLOSS & #MultiVendor / #MultiProvider solutions as well as #OpenStandards per default.

     That's why #ICQ, #AIM, #Skype and #Lync are dead, yet #eMail, #IRC, #XMPP & #SIP ain't.
