I think we tend to do a lot of idealization. The vast majority of non-techies don’t care whatsoever about decentralization.

- verdverm 1y agoOne can explain features that are possible on ATProto but not Big Social without talking about "decentralization". My pitch to the non-technical typically follows or covers these points - Social today is not healthy - Single account instead of N - All apps keep your data in your database - User level choice over apps, algos, moderation. Esp algos, my social media usage patterns have changed for the better since I started using custom feeds - Real competition in social media - Take back our shared digital experience from a handful of billionaires deciding everything and keeping us locked into their attention economy
- danabramov 1y agoYes, which is a point the article repeatedly makes. I totally agree with you. See also https://knotbin.leaflet.pub/3lx3uqveyj22f/ https://knotbin.leaflet.pub/3lx3uqveyj22f/ which I linked to close to the end of the article.
