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 should strive for full interoperability whenever possible, versus just portability. If I dislike my Substack's publication theme, why should my only option be to exit the platform? Open & permissionless systems make creating, extending, & customizing better. Better for users, developers & companies alike
