A self identified “realist” just told me, “Decentralization is unachievable idealism.”
Really? One company owns the entire Internet?
HTTP is one company’s proprietary API that can be denied to you on a whim?
You have to pay a license to code with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
Oh, wait—that isn’t the present reality at all. I can start my own web server whenever I want.
Now I have done the same with ActivityPub which, like HTML and CSS, is validated by the W3C.
But sure—idealism 😉
