       Does the blog post address the fact that "provide trust" was never the meaning?Rather, "[unstated assumption all actors are operating in a single centralised one-way hierarchy of trust]  this node is at the root of that trust hierarchy"@mjg59

       Sadly @wjmaggos I predict those centralised platforms will never (while they are owned by wealthy techbros) decentralise or federateand the journalists who leave X will mostly go to BlueSky because they think it's what they want.

       Given that this is a question of language usage @futurebirdof course "what are the essential properties of a thing to call that thing a computer"is a different question from "what do people mean when they say a thing is or is not a computer"

       Yes @Radical_EgoCom And "same level" entails no disparity of access due to wealth.If a billion dollars gets more of those things than a million dollars, that's not equal. Same for a million versus one thousand.

       If we could all simply agree those ideas are harmful and mine are not? I'd be a lot more sanguine about dictating terms to others.Until then, I want no one to have the power to exclude *me* from free expression or democratic participation because they claim *my* ideas are harmful.@Radical_EgoCom

       For #FreeSoftware development discussion, #LiberaChat https://libera.chat/ is the place to be.Other communities, I'm not aware of where the hot #IRC networks are today.@SeaFury

       Commercial entities can operate on the #Fediverse, provided everyone is free to completely mute them and defederate from them.But: it's highly unlikely I'll be interested enough to follow any account operating transactionally with its audience, or in a marketing capacity, or fake engagement, etc. So, if there's a significant number like me, commercial activity will have a much more difficult time on the Fediverse than on centralised platforms; and IMO that's as it should be.@evan
