#ShowerThoughts the (re-)decentralized net is in a similar place to where the internet itself once was. Before TCP/IP emerged as the universally accepted standard, there were a bunch of competing internets, using different protocol sets. A bit like XMPP, Diaspora, Zot, Matrix, ActivityPub, SSB, IPFS, SOLID etc. We don't yet know if the universal glue will be one of these, or something else entirely. It's worth keeping an open mind and learning about the pros and cons of all of them.

@strypey 100% right. FB and other centralized media are ephemeral fluctuations, just like AOL was 20 years ago.
