Decentralisation
Decentralisation is a bit of an abstract concept.
But I'm quite interested in technological decentralisation.
1 Technological decentralisation
- Social industry
- Blockchain - blockchain! blockchain!
- fabrication
Fascinating sprawling discussion on counter anti-disintermediation, decentralized social media, decentralized infrastructure, politics of coops, mesh networking.

Great article on decentralising the internet and the successes and failures of federation. Suggests some new approaches and some policy support (but not a StateBook) are needed for decentralisation that actually empowers. Platform coops play a role. We need counterantidisintermediation to prevent platform lock-in. I think the ‘centralised services win (partly) through better UX’ argument needs examining though.
