it annoys me when people refer to "decentralized" as a something that implies some amount of centralisation. (the graphic i corrected here is probably )

if i say i want something to be "decentralized" then i mean: it should be less centralized than i am now. like email is very _centralized_ and should be _de-centralized_*, even tho it is a technically federated system.

*: preferably by replacing it with something that has any regard for security..

Not only do these standards exist at IETF and W3C and Twitter has never played fair with them, these existing standards were partly designed/informed by folks who jumped ship from Twitter quite some time ago. Full circle, I guess. Meh!

#greencapitalism is no solution. The #COP25 is discussion concepts like the carbon offset market which will never lead to more #ClimateJustice.
We need to ask different question: In what kind of world do we want to live? How can we arrange a good life for everybody?

Buy less shit, use your stuff longer, give away what you don't need, don't talk so much, do something nice for someone here and there and don't be a dick.
