 Having the inkling that what Christensen said 20 years ago about modular and integrated architectures, and how markets change from one to the other, applies to the transitions from decentralized blogging to integrated social media behemoths back then, and now back to the decentralized Fediverse. I think. I need to re-read this, fortunately I still have the book on the shelf. https://www.christenseninstitute.org/books/the-innovators-solution/ 3 comments
@ben ohh… if you are certain, you must remember more of the book than I do, but I will refresh my memory tonight. If so, the imperative is, what, … to build functioning value networks, a la PC industry that together delivered the PC while none of their individual parts could be used much on its own? What’s the equivalent in the fediverse? How well does the parallel work? (Questions to self as much as to you or the world in general …)  @J12t The solution is to target people that the incumbents aren’t targeting, and give those people something much easier / more convenient than they already have. The analogy is to build a convenient open core that other people build around, starting with products targeting the people described above. |

@J12t I agree - completely applicable.
