Like my previous post about rot/decay: what's important about people sticking around? Does meaningful progress happen when communities stagnate? What if we treated this as the impermanent fun thing it is right now; expected people to leave. If you knew this would die, would you keep enjoying it now?

I’m still unsure whether people are going to stick around here But it does seem to be more promising than past waves.

I think about this all the time, tbh. As a technologist I know that Notion won't last. If I hold to the idea that this business is permanent I get very fearful about losing my means of survival. So expecting this means I create optionality. Being a pessimist is being optimistic about trajectories.

yeah i think governance around decaying platforms is a huge opportunity i imagine 100 years from now well be way better at this now we just accept that everything disappears once the business model runs out
