@cwebber @bnewbold Thank you for sharing this conversation, it prompted me to map your terminology into economy. Centralization = monopoly. Credible exit = free market or at least oligopoly. Fully federated = own your means of communication (ownership, not socialism!). Since communication enables public discourse, it maps further into politics: centralization = absolute worldwide monarchy, credible exit = nation states with absolute monarchies, federation = heterogeneous orgs participating.
