You shouldn't expect centralised organisations, be it companies or governments, to be good at implementing or even supporting decentralised solutions. That's just Conway's law [1] at work.
That's why decentralised solutions are shared, implemented bottom-up by communities of practice.
This is also why decentralised solutions are hard to monetise.
TL;DR: Decentralised solutions work best when they are open source, open hardware, run in cooperative ways.
@jwildeboer This got me thinking about decentralized spam filtering.
This is something that the fediverse could certainly use (and would be a good test-bed for the concept with its decentralized protocol), but personally I'm more interested in it for small email servers. De-centralizing control over RBLs.
I'm imagining something where your system automatically establishes trust with other moderators who moderate the same messages/accounts/servers the same way as you do.
