This network is the best we’ve got but that is not a rave review.
There are two different definitions of decentralization. Two different problems people are trying to solve.
Some people are trying to secure private interaction and exchange and the others are trying to constrain social manipulation and network polarization.
Privacy is an attempt to secure freedom to do the right thing by people who do the right thing - that is just an echo chamber.
You are not going to get privacy because power on both sides won’t let you have it. It’s the only thing they agree on.
You need to reverse the power polarity to actually decentralize a network.
You need to shrink the power of the fringe on both side of the influencer spectrum, and this is exactly how you would scale a competitor to twitter. You need to polarize the micro blogging space like Roger Ailes did with traditional news media. He did it in a centralized way, but on the Internet, you have to do it in a decentralized way, using network effects, and that means an algorithm that rewards a new class of influencers.
