#decentralization

"[T]he biggest culprit of the slow demise of the Web as we knew it has been the rise of the app economy. The first thing most large commercial websites will do when you try to access them on a mobile device is to open up a notification encouraging you to install their app. Why stay on the scary open Web when you can be viewing the same content on their safe walled garden? So people switched, and kept on switching until the Web on mobile is practically an extinct creature. 60% of all Web traffic comes from mobile devices, but people are using apps and not the browser on their phones, and 88% of all time spent on the phone is on apps and not on the Web. Sure, that includes games and all sorts of other applications, but the reality is that the old Web is a dying environment.

Add to that the fact that websites have become ugly behemoths filled with cookie banners and pop-ups, and you will see that the move to apps makes a lot of sense. The advantage of the app for developers is evident: higher retention, more control, and most importantly, higher capability of gathering user data that can then be resold to the highest bidder.

The consequences of this shift are far more profound than mere inconvenience. As the open Web recedes, we are witnessing the slow death of digital serendipity, that peculiar joy of stumbling across unexpected information or communities whilst wandering through hyperlinks. Apps create isolated silos of content, algorithmically curated and commercially optimised. This fragmentation erodes the decentralised nature of information access that characterised the early Web.
(...)
Perhaps most concerning is what this means for future generations who will never know the Web as it was."

Having a little exchange with peeps on Bsky about decentralization. There is a lot of denial going on. They seem to think its fine that their "independent decen" content is only accessible via 'bsky.app/' addresses.

The ones with separate PDS' can still communicate with each other with #Bluesky goes down, but they are still largely walled-off from the rest of the Internet.

Bluesky Has And Outage And People Wonder Why.

Bluesky had a massive outage the other day, and people are wondering how could a “decentralized” social network go down like that?

You know how? It’s not decentralized yet. Most of the users are still on the main server and that’s what went down.

You don’t see stuff like this happening on Mastodon or the other ActivityPub services. You know why? They are all decentralized and if one server goes down, the others don’t.

It’s not a complex concept.

Look I like Bluesky. I like that there are people that I want to follow over there. There’s a community there for me. But I also have a even bigger community on the Fediverse (Mastodon etc.).

What bugs me is that Bluesky touts that it’s decentralized when it’s NOT.

Not yet at least.

I mean it can be decentralized and that makes it far better than X/Twitter and the other Web 2.0 apps out there that are centralized and walled off. But it’s still not decentralized — not yet.

And until it can be easily decentralized and in fact is, we’re going to have outages like this and censorship like we’re seeing with Turkey and Bluesky.

Thoughts? I’d love to hear your take.

We were founded after the U.S. government’s 2025 threat to cut funding for the CVE program — a crucial piece of the cybersecurity landscape. Now, we’re working to create a decentralized, resilient standard for global vulnerability coordination.

@aral you should add “closed minded #hivemind #hipster shitting on entire classes of technologies and problem spaces that I refuse to take the time to understand” to your CV.

Don’t come crying to the crypto devs you mocked when your country sends you your tax return in a central bank digital currency with a spending time-limit that can be tracked FOREVER.

#decentralization seems to be a problem that you won’t understand until you are utterly imprisoned by centralization.

"Usenet Reborn" is an Usenet and NNTP TUI client in Rust language, in alpha stage!

Now that I have a 1.0.1 released for my #NNTP library called "rek2_nntp" crates.io/crates/rek2_nntp was able to go ahead and get "Usenet Reborn" client in a usable stage a brand new #usenet client in #TUI format using the #ratatui #rust #libs not a rust expert so patches are WELLCOME to both projects! #hackers #hackerculture #decentralization

An interesting article about cosocial.ca/ by @timbray - If you're interested in running community services, you should read it.

They take Canadian paying customers only (50 Can$), got 200 ppl after 2y and will hire their first paid employee soon.

Shameless plug:
info.graz.social is also providing paid memberships which supports efforts to educate the masses about #Fediverse and #decentralization for people in and around #Graz (and I'm part of @wir). Meet us at #GLT25 on April 26: linuxtage.at/en/

Consider a membership or a donation to your team of choice that runs a #communityservice! 🙇

"Turns out what drives and sustains #decentralizedsocialmedia is not hype, but a sense of #community and the possibility to have some real #agency in one’s social media experience. This #decentralization and sense of community allows #Fediverse to survive even if individual instances disappear."
