@contrapunctus@fe.disroot.org Mostly agree, but even though Matrix de-facto pushes you to register on Matrix.org, I don't think it's really centralised? Under that logic, Mastodon would also be centralised as it tries to push you to register on Mastodon.social. But maybe I'm out of the loop, who knows.

@thesupertechie@lgbtqia.space Having a default server isn’t the issue…rather, Matrix and ATProto are protocols I consider to be (in the words of rysiek) “cosplaying decentralization”. If it’s too expensive to self-host (and in a manner that gives you meaningful independence from the flagship instance without losing touch with the rest of the network), it’s not really decentralized.
