@benpate @smallcircles @EUCommission @nlnet good points. Totally agree about meeting people where they are. From my perspective, the majority of the people on the fediverse in 5 years aren’t on it now. So designing for them is different than designing for the smaller total addressable audience that is on it.
you’re right some folks will only want to use web pages. I’m glad they’ll have many options too.
@benpate @smallcircles @strypey @EUCommission @nlnet in my experience fwiw, the most frequent challenge with sales teams tends to be structuring the incentives so they don’t make unrealistic promises that hurt the company equity in the long run just so they can maximize this years cash comp.
@benpate @smallcircles @strypey @EUCommission @nlnet i don’t know what you mean. I already discovered great secure apps via the open web on websites called signal.org, matrix.org, wire.com, etc etc.
And btw I’ve sold plenty of software in my day, with a diverse group of people, and there’s rarely consensus on how to think amongst tech/sales roles, at least not on diverse teams.
@benpate @smallcircles @strypey @EUCommission @nlnet People do need to take responsibility for which kind of fediverse they use by interacting with the fediverse not through a web page served by a platform, but through clients that aren’t served by web platforms. Choose the code you run. Beware networks that “give” you opaque behavior that changes without your informed consent because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard
@benpate @smallcircles @strypey @EUCommission @nlnet I’ve been using this website for almost a decade and the way it does the fediverse protocols has changed a great amount over that time. There wasn’t any informed consent about the way in which I use this app does “fediverse” during that whole time. These cloud oriented platforms on the fediverse effectively force people to use new “fediverse” all the time.
@smallcircles @benpate @strypey @EUCommission @nlnet good reflection. If things here look copy pasted from the corporate captured web, it might be because the same people keep making the same limiting decisions with their cronies all the way since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSocial
Big believer in Conways Law and also moreso
