Washed into my timeline, in between: "Traditional federation lacks modularity. Hosting, distribution, moderation, algorithms, and business logic are located in the hosting instance. This creates a weak separation of powers. Ideally, users reduce the power of a popular instance by devolving specific functions to other providers. We want to preserve rights in the default course of operation; separating powers helps achieve that." https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/practical-decentralization - definitely worth reading. In virtually every paragraph of it. #digital_technologies #social_networks #atproto #activitypub #federation
