Data portability > decentralization.
The recent trend towards decentralization of tech is great, but if data is not portable then its just a different centralization.
For ex. Matrix/Element is great as an example of decentralization, but since you cant do much with the data if you want to go to something else, its still lock in.
- mawise 5y agoI think of Matrix with it's many bridges as relatively portable. This might be chat-specific as I don't think of chat as requiring long term storage of messages. For example, slack search is basically a joke.
