I like this take so i’m going to translate it to plain english, too.
At business schools they teach strategy frameworks like porter’s 5 forces, blue ocean, etc. to help founders think about what gives a business a lasting edge and how to stand out.
in plain english this means: why do people choose your product/company and what makes it hard for your competitors to copy you.
There are a lot of different ways to win. some examples:
- convenience edge: because they’re easier to use.
- financial edge: because they’re cheaper.
- trust edge: because people genuinely trust them.
convenience & financial edges are absolutely real advantages, but they’re also easier to copy so they are not the most sustainable. (for US folks: picture the walgreens by your house that feels magical until an aldi opens right next door with cheaper price tags.)
Trust is much harder to build and keep. Once your users/customers lose it, it’s very hard to earn back.
Which also means that if you start by collecting tons of user data, it’s hard to reposition yourself later. So in decentralized social terms trust might end up being the strongest moat of all.

I just got opinionated, so I must share.
I fully support quorum's first-principles approach to social that aligns with decentralization and the spirit of CROPS.
***why should you care about this?
"don’t be evil" is when your data is tracked by design. It relies on the goodwill of whoever controls the company. The company holds your sensitive data, and you are asked to trust that it won’t be hacked, leaked, sold, or abused. (picture zuck’s face here)
"can’t be evil" is when the design structurally limits what data can be collected and misused, regardless of who is in charge. It relies on the system architecture. If the company can’t collect your data, they can’t abuse it and/or force-feed you with content/slop that aligns with whatever views they may have.
***but then how do we scale? omg!!
Yes, this sounds less scalable because having less data makes the product harder to optimize. But it is the one that creates a strong foundation for sustainable, long-term growth.
This way, product improvement is more humane and community-centered. It depends on users who choose to share feedback voluntarily, and in return, you get loyal and retentive users because they participate by choice, they feel heard and develop a genuine sense of belonging.
thank you for reading, if you actually did. 🙏

if we can choose running one specific shard that would be amazing (aka hypersnap light node), more people will be willing to participate regardless of their hardware limitation, or just cheaper vps rent no more big storage
