Gregory's ServerIt is tempting to assume that distributed architectures are inherently democratic, egalitarian, even liberatory.
They are not.

 @Miniver @oluOnline In general you could take this as "the clearnet and physical routing infrastructure is badly designed", except that it is fully intentional for the physical infrastructure to exhibit those flaws. The preservation of geopolitical authority on communication through infrastructural consolidation and control points is an intended flaw. |
@Miniver @oluOnline The only constant issue I've found that prevents this is that routing for distributed P2P can be interfered with.
Otherwise P2P truly is liberatory. Unfortunately the infrastructure doesn't follow that scheme, so any P2P that relies on the infrastructure is subject in some quantity to its issues.
