@tomw Problem's, though: The centralized solutions and walled gardens started out by trying to solve problems (mostly related to usability, "accessibility" for less tech-savvy people, ...) the decentralized crowd either wasn't aware of or didn't care about or actively didn't want to solve because it would hurt one of the various technical freedoms. Just remembering RSS which always was great for _reading_ stuff coming from some blog but got you into a mess of different accounts on different blog systems if you ever dared to think about commenting a post you saw. Or messengers - XMPP always was cool, technically, but still for quite a while it was impossible to reliably send even images to other contacts and be sure they'd be able to receive and display them in a meaningful manner, even in days when such a thing was a basic feature on most of the "established" messengers on smartphones. Not even talking about all the technical mess e-mail is if you want to transport anything else but plain text. Really hope that this time we'll be able to do decentralized systems better or even "right". 😁️
