Decentralised servers - what we now call the #Fediverse - are often talked about as if they’re some new, radical innovation. They’re not, they’re a return to the original design of the network. The early internet wasn’t built to be controlled. It was built to survive. The core idea was simple: if parts of the network were destroyed - even something as extreme as a nuclear strike - the rest would keep functioning. No centre. No single point of failure. No “off switch.” https://hamishcampbell.com/closed-systems-protect-individuals-but-they-rarely-build-movements/
