JayByte on Nostr: That's how the New Renaissance starts from early Y2K Medieval with fading ...

That's how the New Renaissance starts from early Y2K Medieval with fading "cyberpunk". For me decentralization is a whole mindset. There are also nanoboards, stg, over-exploitation of hyper-centralized resources if you should use them for some purpose (like work), async remote work culture. What started as simple independent life individualism, it then evolves in more complex/progressive way. This does not happen suddenly one day though, this is long-term continuous trend. And it's not always about one real variable.

quoting nevent1q…994u

are you committed to decentralization?

for me, that means both being open to new freedom tech AND remaining ready to use existing ones

i keep almost every decentralized/FOSS messaging app or my accounts on social medias
if anyone ever says to me "do you use _?"
i should always be able to say "yes"

i won't contribute to the network effect of proprietary/centralized messengers like WhatsApp, Signal, Discord, or whichever other popular communication apps are in use
i won't seek fame on the big social medias with millions of users

and i WILL remain here on mastodon (or lemmy, or nostr, etc) 🫂
and i WILL be able to be reached on matrix (or XMPP, deltachat, etc) 💬
