Did you hear about the Internet?
- chain030 1y agoThe internet for the average person has converged to a handful of products and services. Your point being? People prefer centralised stuff since it takes care a lot of stuff for them. They dont actually care all that much about technology that yield decentralised outcomes. I know that may be difficult for many here to comperehend.
- fsflover 1y agoPeople prefer centralized services until they enshittify, after which people move to the next thing, thanks to the decentralization.
- chain030 1y agoGoogle, Meta and so on are not dying. So whats your point fella?

- warkdarrior 1y ago> people move to the next thing, thanks to the decentralization This does not quite follow. Care to explain more? What I observe in practice is that people move from one centralized service to the next centralized service (e.g., X->BlueSky) but rarely from centralized to decentralized.
- fsflover 1y agoMost services aren't decentralized, but the Internet itself is decentralized, which allows to set up these independent services that can compete with each other.
- lokar 1y agoCrime is pretty heavily regulated on the Internet, has been for years. If that regulation had been impossible, it would not have been allowed to grow, and would have been shut down / banned.
