I just did a talk about Mastodon for a Canberra radio station. When I told them it is run over a decentralized network of servers the radio host replied "that sounds like a recipe for chaos!?". I clapped back with a longer explanation as to why not, but felt like saying, "Umm, you have heard of this thing called the 'Internet' right? How do you think it works?"
@antmandan ... just like the way we receive.... um... different radio stations ????
@antmandan Wait until he learns about radio! 😁
@antmandan I love those "but we must have all our eggs in *one* basket or it won't work" conversations
@antmandan it’s like having individual instances were groups of people can determine the vibe they like is a “recipe for disaster” but forcing everyone to be on the same server and trying to get them all to vibe together is chefs kiss.
