@Damon@mozilla.social @kissane Large platforms are also inherently brittle.

A good example of this is 2018 / 2019 / 2020 where a bunch decided they didn't like sexual expression, or subsets of such. Some blame uncertainty in the immediate passage of FOSTA[1]. Some blame Christian fundamentalists misrepresenting science [2]. Some blame Apple, or even the fact that Steve Jobs historically did not like porn. Imagine you're relying on a platform to maintain a particular standard, then they decide for good reasons, or not, that they want to inexplicably change that one day. Usually, completely out of the blue.

That could be your livelihood which you rely on to make money (how you pay bills, how you eat), or otherwise a vehicle for expression.
