So, "good" isn't enough, sure. But how do you define what is enough? What's "good" for someone else - the ones who matter, I guess?

The problem is that we've gotten used to the idea that on the internet, the good of someone else doesn't have to interfere with our own good. Two tools, or two thousand, can live in, if not harmony, than in safely compartmentalized areas where their unloved niche can live in peace.

That used be what we called progress - that was using the strength of the net to create a productively pluralistic online world.

I think your definitions of progress and good are not accurate, or concrete. But I could be misunderstanding you.
