Forming a thesis around your options if you hate a platform: - portability: export your data and move it elsewhere - interoperability: use one of the many clients/extensions/APIs to improve/extend Former example is a Substack/Twitter export; latter is FC protocol
Both portability & interoperability exists on a scale of usability. Exporting Twitter followers is less useful than exporting Substack subscribers for example, since you can't reach your followers outside Twitter. Similarly, interoperability ranges from closed APIs to permissionless, credibly neutral protocols
we built (but haven't deployed) a 'proof-of-patronage' offramp for creators on Patreon where users can mint NFTs if they've subscribed for x months.
