@cwebber@octodon.social you don't need an exact copy of the key, you need a bunch of peer keys

@amiloradovsky That's a though one. How about Proof of Stool DeFe ledger for Cholera victims? I have no idea how this can help, but they'd sure like some white paper.

@amiloradovsky it is surprising how often this works even for "obviously" bullshit stuff

@amiloradovsky Simple Light - just plug it into your power socket and control from a distance with an easy tap.

@isagalaev been saying this for years. If you see a monoculture brewing - break loose early, do not feed. If you see a possibility for future monoculture creep - walk away, do not feed.

Decentralization isn't everything. It's not the goal in itself. There is a long tail of product design decisions that make or break a platform (which is why I find it kind of silly that Bluesky spent 2 years arguing over protocol design, though that's a different story). But that point is that decentralization is the foundation for a viable platform. Without it you're doomed to repeat the path of hundreds of social media apps of the past... Just a different paint on the same exact structure.
