> Personally I think we'll look back on these massively open networks where everybody can reply to everybody as an anomaly. It's cyclical. - The internet and online communities (BBSes) started out decentralized. - Then came AOL / Compuserve / etc. Centralized platforms. - The web broke up those platforms and shuffled everything around. - Then the current Google / Facebook / Twitter megaplatforms arose and that's the state we're in. So it's logical that we're ready for a decentralized cycle but over time, users will forget why decentralization is good and another big platform will rise.
