    @pnathan @natecull @cjd wow. Where to start. Centralization and standardization are two *totally* different things.

      @pnathan @natecull @cjd the fact that you would argue otherwise makes it clear that you are arguing backwards from an assumption...

        @pnathan @natecull @cjd ...rather than arguing towards whatever conclusion the data might actually lead to. #

          @pnathan @natecull @cjd the premise you are committed to is "centralization is good" > "cloud is good". I accept neither assumption

            @pnathan @natecull @cjd some level of coordination has benefits over none. For example, I support the development of (libre) standards.

              @pnathan @natecull @cjd  But history shows that centralization leads to fragile system, not to mention tyranny (eg USSR).

                @pnathan @natecull @cjd decentralized systems may be less "efficient", but they are *much* more resilient.

                  @pnathan @natecull @cjd when the # goes down, it *all* goes down. Very few conditions could bring the entire # down

                    @pnathan @natecull @cjd all that said, I do support campaigns for better regulation. For example:

                      @pnathan @natecull @cjd but regulating an amorphous global phenomenon like the net is far from simple...

                          @pnathan @natecull @cjd playing whack-a-mole with # and startups seems less effective longterm than providing replacements for them
