You’re not wrong. This push to decentralize gives me some hope, but even many of the pro-decentralization people mindlessly hate blockchain technology because it’s what they were conditioned to do. They can’t even begin to argue their belief but god damn do they believe it strongly.
I don’t have a lot of faith in the future of the internet or social media. I think it’s going to continue to fracture. We’ll have the centralized internet, and the decentralized internet on the fringes that the rest of us live on.
The people on the centralized services will spend all day complaining about all the awful things the centralized services do while hating on the decentralized services that fix all the things they want fixed, because that’s what they’re going to be conditioned/brainwashed to think. People are too easily tricked and misinformed, and not educated against it, for modern social media. It’s just too fucking easy to manipulate people.
