Like Mastodon "centralizes" the software experience through federation so even though there's all these disparate servers running, chains of federated servers can be treated by the software and thus the users as a single application. Not only has blockchain not addressed this issue I have never seen anyone even bring it up. I guess blockchain could be a useful technology incorporated into something but we should really build decentralized internet on stuff like federated systems. thoughts yall?
Jesus Christ the biggest barrier to me joining new communities really is remembering to fucking look in and engage. stupid brain uwu.
anyway I was thinking about the recent crypto crash and the underpinning block chain technology and I came to the realization that block chain tech in its current form can never be used for non scams because it addresses the issue of decentralized "democratic" hardware, but does nothing to "centralize" the software built on top of such hardware.
@dragonmagic Oh god we're up to four boosters? I'll have to check is CVS is doing then this weekend. This mastodon already being useful
