    Those were different times.

    The average Internet user is a phone user who only knows apps.

    I would say centralization might be required to reach Facebook like sizes but I’m not sure that is a valuable goal.

      The times change but technologies still go through the same lifecycles. Nothing wrong with waiting for things to mature, though I’d rather accept some rough edges than accept getting sold as a product.

        What I meant more is less that the technologies change but that the users have. Users were more tech savvy by nessessity.

        There are plenty of people online now who would never have made it before.
