@akkartik i don’t really think of these as consumption choices. i am contributing or refraining to contribute to network effects, playing one small part in a game that shapes important contours of the future. there is a sense in which every consumption choice is “a vote”, but where network effects obtain the analogy is unusually strong. so there’s an ethical component. i feel like i did wrong by contributing (extraordinarily much!) to twitter, and feel i am risking sin on BlueSky
