Aaron To get into a high enough position within the system to have any meaningful control over the system means having participated in the system to such a degree that the system itself has repeatedly rewarded you.
People who want to change systems do not get rewarded by those systems. People who get rewarded by systems are not incentivised to change them.
This is the direction I've been moving, and my cotributions to this space are microscopic compared to yours. There's just too much energy tied up in other peoples spaces, the product of which can blink out of existence without any warning or recourse. Too much focus has been put on building spaces that look and feel like mega-social sites. Falling into those tropes prevents us from focusing on creating something new and uniquely ours.
