prove that people want services free from centralized control.
A shift to decentralized internet services will bring challenges—including more complex security and less convenience. But these issues are all solvable. In the past, we didn’t let new challenges around democracy lead us to abandon our freedoms. We built systems that protected people while preserving our new rights. The same must happen here.
We’ve fought centralized power before. Societies have overthrown theocratic rule by creating entirely new pluralistic systems, such as democracy in the United States. Now, we must challenge technofascism by building our own.
The only real choice is for us to go all in—building, using, and investing in decentralized technology before centralized control becomes even harder to undo.
