Ello, Goodbye.

(That feeling when you don’t have to write something about it today because you already said everything that needed to be said ten years ago.)
@aral do you remember how Paul Mason used to gush about Ello (as the FB killer)?
@rooftopjaxx Yeah, I wasted some time trying to advise them before I learned they’d taken VC. When I wrote the linked-to piece, he accused me of destroying their “adoption curve” or some such. Which, if you read the piece, was exactly what it was intended to do.
@aral It's a funny old world, PM's fall from grace (post-"@stoya
come to Athens - the revolution is happening") being just another example.
