So I really enjoy this site but the decentralization true believer guys very much need to develop some chill, lol.

We all need to take a breath and remember that change takes time.

Decentralized services are great, but services need to be accessible and intuitive for popular adoption to take off.

If we want people to move away from centralized platforms (and we should), the way we do that isn't preaching the technical superiority and expecting that to win hearts and minds.

Folks on social media aren't looking for the best tech, they're looking for tech that helps them access community with a minimum of friction.

@gwensnyder While I absolutely agree we should make the tech as accessible as possible, there are limits to how easy decentralized tech can get. Centralized will always be in advantage and win the "minimal friction" competition.
So some level of understanding about the dangers of autocracy in tech is also necessary.
