Yes. Those are good points.

You were going for some Socratic roundabout ironic thing?

No.

That feels a bit patronizing.

That was not my intent. I apologize if anyone felt this way.

Why is that?

There! That’s much better! I agree and well done.

Initial meetings and other communications like where to meet in person, etc.

I don’t believe you read the article nor gave this any thought before you made your flippant comment. Also, you give no reasoning for your dogmatic statements.

Interesting. I was not aware that Peter is as you say he is. I can see it now. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will no longer be watching his videos.

I listen to KEXP for several hours every day.

I’ve been exposed to the news cycle my entire life and I don’t know how I missed the NASA Artemis project. I’m not sure why you’d think Peter is disingenuous. He’s just a guy that loves to make documentary films.

I’ve been using this for many years. I’m not sure why you’ve chosen to pin this to the U.S. News community. It would make more sense to be posted to the Technology community. However, most people there are already aware of it.

So, might be a good idea to delete your post.

Right? Use Firefox or a derivative (ex. LibreWolf). Ladybird will be coming out in the future so that may be a viable option.

Also, it isn’t ‘decentralization’ in the strictest technical sense. That’s what the Decentralization Scoring System is trying to show.

It’s meant to explain what decentralization is and is not. That’s all.

Please look at the big picture here. The Fediverse exists only because of a very niche user base that are technologically exposed to it.

The general public HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE that the Fediverse exists.

Therefore, it would take either an enormous amount of incredibly generous people to market/advertise the Fediverse OR a fuck-ton of money to pay people to market/advertise the Fediverse.
