the "decentralized" fediverse is as scam.
>>107835512Wtf is this graphic?No, its instances of various server types including mastodon that exchange statuses... posts. It is decentralized.
>>107835678>Wtf is this graphic?Look at the filename and you'll get your answer right away.
>>107835512?
looks to be as decentralized as git. it can be, but everybody uses github anyway.
>>107835717I can only guess wildly. Wouldn't the data center sized proprietary SaaS imagegen be able to do a sensible illustration of whatever OP wishes to show?
>>107835789Since you're too retarded, I'll spoonfeed you.This is a troll by a retarded clanker. The infograph was generated by Grok and literally means nothing at all.
>>107835678>It is decentralized.yeah, it is "decentralized" in the same way reddit, x and 4chan are "decentralized". you have to view it this way: reddit is an instance, X is an instance, 4chan is an instance etc. the only difference is you have one brand name (like mastodon) and centralized instances like mastodon.social, truth.social, mas.to etc.
>>107835814bro, i just used grok to make it more prettier. it is my real work!
>>107835512 no, Mastodon and Bluesky is good for being decentralized but the main servers of Mastodon are over flooded with people who all think exactlty the same. They just repost the same strongly convicted moral values they have over and over. Also supporting abolishing the EU on Mastodon is not seen as putting power in hands of the people but rather a "fascist dog whistle"
>>107835875there are right wing mastodon instances, like truth.social.it still doesn't make any difference because instances/platforms are centralized dictatorships. doesn't matter if you call it mastodon.social, truth.social, reddit or X.i don't care about politics. the fact is, they are all dictatorships and the "decentralized" branding of the fediverse is just an illusion.
>>107835945A pool of different dictatorships is more decentralized than a single dictatorship (that doesn't actually exercise its dictatorial powers).
>>107835512even google gets the idea, so it can't be my fault
>>107835971>here is your pool of decentralized dictatorships, sir.
>>107836043Big Tech is decentralized though, the individual siloed dictatorships just happen to be closed off to each other but in sum it is a decentralized system where one can abandon one and jump to the other.
>>107836073this is exactly my point. this is why the fediverse is just a "decentralized". the point of my OP is to unmask the fediverse.
>>107835997>ai makes graphic>ai understand graphicyou're forgetting about people, buddy
>>107836117The thing is that the fediverse is not closed off, but rather open through a common protocol, allowing the different dictatorships to communicate with each other. In terms of a spectrum, it's not as decentralized as something like Bitcoin or Ethereum but the whole pool is more decentralized than one of those dictatorships like Facebook.
>>107836210>allowing the different dictatorships to communicate with each other.yes, but ONLY if the dictatorships are allied! leftist dictatorships will stick together, so will rightist dictatorships stick together. the two, three biggest mastodon instances are controlled by the same entity, the mastodon corporation, their CEO is eugen rochko. this "decentralization" is just a scam!
>>107835875>>107835512Wait wasn't mastodon some twitter offshoot for lolicon artists? I thought the name referenced mammoth/dorontabi.
>>107835512>Look up P2P social media>"Manyverse">It's deadGod damn it :/
>>107835854Woah, I didn't know I could post on 4chan with a Reddit account. Sure looks like you are doing it though, fucking tech illiterate faggot
No, it isn't.
>>107836310Are you thinking of the Mastodon instance pawoo.net? It was originally created by pixiv, the Japanese illustrator platform.
>>107835512>federated (as "decentralized" as email)>user can still get randomly banned from instance for no reason>other instances can block ("defederate") you instance, leaving you completely isolated, just because they don't like your admin-_-
>>107836665your point being? it's exactly like email, LMAO
>>107836201>peopleOn >>>/g/That's was 7 years ago.
>>107836687>your point being? it's exactly like email>it's exactly like emailyes, exactly my point
>>107835512I tried to get into it, but realized I had to make a separate account for each instance, what's the point?
>>107836855>my point is to literally repeat the definition of federatedok?
>>107836877You might be mentally challenged
>>107836877Why do you need accounts on multiple instances? Are you trying to talk to people on two instances that refuse to connect to each other?
>>107835874Yes bro, you did the needful job!
>>107835512aw sweet a schizo thread
>>107836916Just a friendly reminder :)
>>107837273The Pseudo-Decentralization of Mastodon – Just Another IllusionMastodon and the broader Fediverse are frequently sold as the holy grail of “real” decentralization – in contrast to evil centralized platforms. In reality, this is mostly marketing.The largest instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, mas.to) are all controlled by the same legal entity: the Mastodon gGmbH / corporation, led by Eugen Rochko. Two or three of the biggest nodes = one single boss. That’s not decentralization; that’s just a slightly distributed company structure.Sure, right-wing instances like Truth Social exist (or Gab, or others). But they rarely federate meaningfully with the big leftist-leaning main instances. In practice you get two (or three) almost completely separate, ideologically closed networks that only talk to their political allies. That’s not open federation – that’s allied dictatorships communicating with each other.At the end of the day every single instance is still a miniature centralized dictatorship with an owner who can ban, defederate, censor, or simply shut down the server whenever they feel like it. Mastodon.social, Truth Social, Reddit, X – structurally they are the same thing: one admin, one set of rules, one kill switch.The Fediverse is “decentralized” in exactly the same sense that Reddit, X and 4chan are decentralized: you can choose which dictator you want to live under. That’s the whole difference.
>>107837461Thank you grok very cool. Didn't read tho.
>>107837505you took the effort to solve the insane captcha just to bump my thread. i have to thank you.
