 @jerry @RL_Dane @Synapsidont @Gargron Be careful that you don't turn a discussion about what sort of rules and systems work for the greatest number of people into a witchhunt for "centralized" stuff. The fact they're "centralized" is not what makes the silos bad. It's that they are controlled by people with shareholders who have to make money, and that bad people have all the money to pay them. Anarchy will not save us. Solidarity will. The Fedi has a future - Mastodon might not. 2 comments
@RL_Dane @jerry @Synapsidont @Gargron The fedi is not that beautiful in execution, IMO. It is for us techy white people, especially if we gloss over/ignore what marginalized people are telling us. Bit like how the police have been brutalizing black people in America for literally their entire existence as The Police, but it took until 1992 for white people to *start* believing them, because they couldn't see it happening. Actually it's *exactly* like that. |

I'm not sure that centralization *isn't* an inherent evil.
The beauty of fedi is that it isn't centralized, but that's not the core of it.
It's cooperation, it's values, it's openness, it's lack of algorithmic meddling, it's... a lot of things.
