I'm thinking we are missing a term, or a concept when talking about the #Fediverse and #decentralized social networking vs. #centralized platforms.
The concept of "middleman" is good. We don't want a #middlemn. But then, most of us don't run our own Mastodon instances, so we have middlemen in the fediverse, too. And our e-mail providers are, and our hosting companies for our personal websites.
But those are a kind of different middleman, not as dangerous. We need a new term. (cont'd/)
