It's funny seeing people extol the virtues of decentralisation and stuff because like, that's what the internet used to be?

You've seen Hackers, right? The 1995 movie? At the time, most of the internet was dialup BBS sites. But then, the world wide web happened, and big centralised providers like CompuServe and AOL started taking control.

Discussing the perils of centralised internet services? Basically, y'all are talking about the original spirit of the internet, and I kinda love it.
