Something with no central source of authority
|
|
|
|
Common examples:
|
|
- RSS
|
|
- Email
|
|
- The [Fediverse](/garden/fediverse/index.md)
|
|
|
|
In practice, the "pick a server" problem causes email and the fediverse to trend towards a handful of large servers that still suffer from some of the issues of centralization
|
|
|
|
Advantages over centralization:
|
|
- Data ownership
|
|
- Increased privacy
|
|
- No rules to follow
|
|
- Can fully customize your experience
|
|
- No single entity can make the experience worse for everyone
|
|
- Anyone and everyone can try their hand at improving the ecosystem |
