How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) - Ploum: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

(Yes, I'm tired of this topic too, but I want to get this point accross to techies: learn from history!)

osvik,

@alcinnz In the case of RSS feeds, it was not a big company that made this technology, once used everywhere, into something niche. Many websites stopped providing them and even Firefox started requiring an extension or configuration to use them. Unfortunately most users don't see the value in open standards or open source. Email survives, among other reasons, because it's required in many countries by government institutions, but Gmail and Outlook are crushing the competition.

osvik,

@alcinnz Teams, Slack and Discord are the most popular tecnologies in companies that have to set up internal chats.

@alcinnz I came to Fedi to escape Meta and Twitter. Like, I don't want Zuckiphants to be able to find me easily.

yuki2501,

@alcinnz Mind reposting with a CW? I want to boost this so much but a lot of folks here are exhausted of this topic.
