Gregory's Server@mmasnick and @mike, in their podcast episode, ponder what the new, compelling thing is that can be done with decentralized social media that couldn’t be done with centralized systems. They agree with each other that nobody knows yet, and that if history is any guide, the centralized systems first have to be rebuilt in a decentralized fashion before that likely becomes apparent.

 @mmasnick says, on @mike’s podcast, that in spite of about 15 years of social networking in the mainstream, we haven’t really wrapped our minds around what it means to have a social graph “everywhere”. Indeed! Of course, we couldn’t, before the #fediverse, because even if we had figured it out, it would have been impossible to implement due to the centralization of the social platforms. But now we can! Social graph in your fridge? Here we come!!:-)   @J12t Is this the link to the episode? And how about this for that paper? |
Gotta wholeheartedly agree with @mike’s point in his dot social podcast: this is an amazing time. So much opportunity! It’s like the early days of the web all over again!!
@mmasnick thinks it’s certainly bigger than mobile, when the smartphone with apps became a thing, and I would agree with that, too.
