I don't think federated social media models are good. I *REALLY* want to. I just don't think they work.
Hot take: It's really hard to produce and sustain sufficient interactions on decentralized social network (as they are now) to come close to overwhelming those of centralized networks, so the evolutionary pressures are bad.

I really WANT decentralized to win. It aligns well with what I think is Intrinsically Good. But I care about the information environment and social dynamics more. Obviously, they're intrinsically related. But, I don't think its necessarily the case they you have to start there.

I think there is good reason to question how quickly decentralized and federated systems can innovate and also if they achieve the goals we set out. Doesn't stop me from trying, just realize it's not so simple.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj3YFprqAr8 …

Yeah, I agree. Here's to a near future where that level of interaction becomes an unfashionable and unsustainable thing of the past.

I think I want the same level of interactions. Just, under heterogeneous control and way more agency. Decentralized/federated gets that naturally. But maybe not the only way to do so.
