Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      ...or to use X in a manner that's focused on your own (the user's) interests and not the producer's monetization model.

      I feel this way about many well-scoped projects or ones based on strong standardization. For example, I feel locked-into DNS.

      When this happens, it's to add a cost that prevents new privatized lock-in from happening.

      The internet would be a much more awful place if DNS got replaced each year by the latest Facebook or Google naming system.

      I agree with everything you're saying. I just don't think lock-in best describes things that are not standardized or commodity.

      I'm just saying "lock-in" is useful language and not the opposite of standardized.

      An IoT lightbulb with its own vendor-specific protocol is not standardized but not necessarily lock-in.

      But if the IoT lightbulb can only be controlled through a vendor-provided cloud infrastructure, then it's lock-in.

      Lock-in is an active choice to put your control (usually aimed at monetization or monopolization) above user interests.

      Most people don't think that deeply or have that intent. It can be as simple as only wanting to support one way of doing things.

      I went too far/spoke imprecisely in implying malicious intent.

          You did not. You are bringing up some really great points, and given me more to think about.

          But if you haven't thought about "what happens to our users if we go under?" or "...if we get bought by bad people?" ...

          This is why I prefer open and/or mature spaces with strong competition. For example I can move from Heroku to App Engine.

          Both platforms are considered to have really strong "lock-in", but because of strong competition I have an easy off-ramp.
