Andy Baio wrote a thoughtful op-ed (or maybe an obituary?) for Ello, the alternative social network that for me seemed like a thing, for a moment, around 2015.
Apparently, it existed much longer, and Andy charts how it failed to stay true to its vision of an jndependent, sustainable network for creators. Andy argues it was because of VC funding.
But I read it as an overall sad story about how hard it is to build such a network. Obviously, this is written on a network that’s just what Ello failed to be
