 Next time a crypto bro tells me about their so-called "decentralized" social network, I'm going to ask them, "Is it governed by a DAO?" If they tell me it is -- and most of them will be happy to tell you it is because they see it as a feature, not a bug -- I'll simply tell them, "Okay, so it's not decentralized." That will be that, and I will continue building out real decentralization for social media. 8 comments
 @atomicpoet @hrheingold How it /ought/ to work is also a difficult question because that's more asking for a judgement call than for anything technical. It far more a question of what tradeoffs you prefer. @atomicpoet Yep. If the only way to help govern is by having a bunch of money (tokens) than it's just rich people controlling the network to further enrich themselves.  @atomicpoet y'know, there is value in having a literally codified "entity" take over from the humans when there are trust issues. And the DAO "entity" is decentralized. But at the level of individual sovereignty, and a new user's experience, you're right it's essentially the same ol'. I appreciate blockchain for being a back-end option, personally, but there is an impedence mismatch with the fediverse. @atomicpoet Unless the DAO is supporting people to host the social media protocol/ servers themselves (which I’ve never seen lol), it really isn’t properly decentralized. Also, the Fediverse exists, so why not do something crypto+Activity Pub if you NEED crypto in your life? …🤷🏻♂️ @atomicpoet |

@atomicpoet Interested in whether you can explain in toot-length how real decentralization for social media ought to work.
