This is my corner on the Internet. Relatively new in this particulary spot, but have been found on the same url since 1998. Being new here means that some things might not work as expected, yet.

Decentralized is more important than being decentralizable
“Why did you choose Mastodon and not Bluesky?” This is my answer to that question. It begins with a law from the turn of the millennium that was initially described as a failure, takes a path through domain names I've owned for nearly three decades, a need to test the winds, and ultimately lands on the fact that right now, I prioritize “decentralized” over “decentralizable” as a matter of principle.
