I don't get #openlibra. What makes libra interesting is its massive reachable user base. What's the point of forking the codebase? It won't be able to compete wrt usership.

It’s on the premise that Libra wins. Developers won’t be able to freely deploy into “their” network. An interoperable, network without a controlling body might capture some of the heat.

If you give developers the choice between a self-regulated network with 2B users and an unregulated network with 1k users, most will choose the former.
