We can debate endlessly about which protocol is GOAT, or how to define decentralization...

@julian i don't think interop comes first. what is the goal? if the goal is explicitly to promote decentralization then yes you should define that term first. and decentralization is fundamentally a political goal while interop is fundamentally a utilitarian goal. for example: facebook has 2 billion users, so it clearly has some utility for some people. but it is politically unacceptable for other people, who will oppose it despite its utility. it is shortsighted to prioritize interop alone.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca talking about starting up SocialBC is inspiring!

Makes me wonder if something like this could happen in Ontario... esp. rural communities.
