it's cool to make a poll about centralized vs federated vs totally decentralized but consider:
people on here will answer differently than people on twitter or people on scuttlebutt (that's still a thing right)
hot take: a major reason i am not using scuttlebutt is cause i don't like the name
can it have a good name and a cute mascot imo
like,,, yknow mastodon has the, mastodon
>The first time you join the network there will be a lot to download and process. For real, this “inital syncing” process can take up to an hour and use a couple of gigabytes
ah yeah well that's a problem
how many people in the world have fast unmetered internet lol
(hint: it's less than you think)
maybe _that_ in itself is an argument against fully decentralized systems
with mastodon the server handles being on the network so you don't have to
