@ridt one thing I have been wondering about people's aversion to #fediverse's decentralization of online spaces is how it relates to the fact that for the last 20 years we've been mostly trained on centralized services.

We actually know how decentralized services work and as this points out we use them very frequently with no issues. The biggest break with Mastodon is shifting our mental models around social contact (he says as if that's some small barrier)
