That’s a really good point that I hadn’t considered, thank you. When I spoke about bulletin board systems being decentralized, I was thinking more in terms of the interconnected Internet. Facebook is a centralized social network, it has tremendous reach. But a bulletin board system is one phone line (or five if you’re really lucky) and anyone can splin up a bulletin board system. The limiting factor is of course the phone lines, and if you don’t like one, you can go to another.
