Ironically, one of the most important properties of an open platform is that it's easy to switch away from.

It'd be nice to have a client that presented both tweets and toots to me, and Twitter is the bottleneck on that.

Ironic insofar as... the problem with trying to get people to switch away from closed platforms is mostly only a problem _because those are closed platforms_.

@jennamagius I finally gave up on federating with Google's Jabber server last year, since they *never added TLS*, and I insisted on making all s2s connections encrypted.

The only person who was still available on it anyway was my spouse, so I gave her an account on my server. :-)
