The #fediverse uses the terms distributed (or decentralized) #socialnetworks a lot. There is even a Wikipedia entry [1] about them 🖖 Which is fine, except it is strangely redundant term as there are no "centralized" networks. A network is either a network, or it is one of Zuck's databases to which everybody's browsers connect, *pretending* to be a network 🥶 People have been ranting about this for ever [2] but hope springs eternal 🙏 [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_social_network [2] https://archive.is/EAoMn
