Did anyone care about the decentralization or the lack of censorship at the time? Seems more like a hindsight thing.

- kkfx 5y agoCan't really tell, but also emails where decentralized and designed in a way to be as open as possible to ensure interoperability, so is DNS etc. Essentially all "classic" networked things are born decentralized, even the most classic Xerox Star Office System, probably not to be anti-censorship but just to be flexible leaving anyone free to do whatever he/she want remaining fully able to interact with the rest of the world and for fault tolerance, both things we need today...
