The crypto wave initially got me excited that P2P technology might catch on again, but nobody really ended up caring about the decentration part of it.
We're overdue for a resurgence of punk rock style DIY tech culture IMO. The distrust and distain for the big technology companies is already there among young people.
- pas 3y agothere are many projects trying (tried) to take decentralization seriously, but ... drumroll it's fucking hard, and then they usually end up with some unusable piece of shit, due to the horribly misaligned incentives, easy money running out (or easy money pivoting to some even more insane project, cue network state)

We talk on Facebook Messenger because it's too much effort for them to move to something else. It's really bizarre, honestly, I've had multiple conversations of "you're the only person I talk to on Facebook" but zero interest in moving to something except Discord.
