Decentralization and centralization are processes happening every day everywhere throughout the internet. One big change in topography doesn't mean decentralization done for. It's a constant cat and mouse game and in net the decentralizers are winning.
- rhizome 10y agoI was using "decentralized" in the "sees censorship as damage and routes around it" sense. Whatever you think of the nature of control over and flexibility of networks, the topology is simpler and less flexible with major providers having closed peering, and this does not ebb and flow. Also, it was not "one big change." It happened over frog-boiling years.
