  • I should have specified the context of building something to communicate on. I think my original point is that I’m excited for the properties that come with decentralization but I’m worried about it’s drawbacks. The grass is always greener, they say. Perhaps this decentralization all goes extremely well and we have many types of services that adopt the mentality. How long will it take before we see the disorganization, identify it as causing disconnection and separatism before pulling it all back together again?

    I actually typed out a longer response before realizing you and I have the same belief. 😄 Though I haven’t yet determined if I can blanketly state all corporations are good or bad and I think I’m okay with staying on that fence. If anything corporations just reveal the properties of the people who run them when they have been blinded by a common goal–and how blinded (or not) they become.

    Though I am worried about some inconveniences caused by the fundamentally separate instances. Simple things like copying a post, navigating back to your instance, navigating to the search feature, searching for it, waiting for the result, opening the result and then finally able to take action on it.

    It can also drive disconnection, despite trying to work against it. It has the ability to put people into silos and build social walls due to intentional and unintentional ignorance. Though you can most certainly argue that is already an emergent property social media algorithms today.
