* because it needs to capture profits for investors
![Page 22: Thimbl: decentralised, open source, micro-blogging](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554de7feb4c905ee578b47ee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In order to capture profit, capital financed platforms
need to control user interaction and user data
![Page 23: Thimbl: decentralised, open source, micro-blogging](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554de7feb4c905ee578b47ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Free, open systems must be built without capital financing.
![Page 24: Thimbl: decentralised, open source, micro-blogging](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554de7feb4c905ee578b47ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Thus, projects that intend to build free and open platforms need to be extremely resource efficient
![Page 25: Thimbl: decentralised, open source, micro-blogging](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554de7feb4c905ee578b47ee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

on existing, established, distributed platforms where possible
BUILD
i.e. email, usenet, irc, finger and not reinventing the wheel
![Page 29: Thimbl: decentralised, open source, micro-blogging](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554de7feb4c905ee578b47ee/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

THIMBLbecomes a highly available, open source, distributed social network with very little new code
see what we did there? ;)
