Email remains underrated in terms of decentralized notions.
- Liron 6y agoAlso the World Wide Web
- leshokunin 6y agoThat’s a very sharp realization, that a lot of people don’t think about. Email is the largest decentralized network in the world, with people routinely setting up federated instances. It’s the de facto standard protocol for b2b communication. It’s even used as a protocol beyond conversations, for meetings and notifications for example. By far the most successful application of the ideals of decentralization.
- rafiki6 6y agoAgain, unfortunately for mass adoption to occur centralized solutions had to be developed to allow for wide market adoption, but yes I absolutely agree that Email IS the decentralized application. Too bad a lot of ISPs block outbound traffic on SMTP forcing you to use theirs or another centralized email solution.
