I increasingly feel like "decentralization" is the wrong goal to have, because it is just an unreliable proxy metric for the thing people *actually* care about, which is autonomy and self-determination
@joepie91 How do you really solve these problems in a centralized system though? Or I guess what I'm asking is, what's wrong with the way things are being tackled now? Technically right now even in the fediverse there are servers that are more popular than others with various levels of customizability and control. But if these were centralized servers in the sense of owned by a corpo sense then there'd be no other nice options.
@joepie91 and maybe even other problems like technically the auth server for this piece of open source software is also open source but no instance will talk to anything but the official auth server by default which is how many corporations have asserted their control.
