minus-squarenottheengineer@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up101·1 year agoThis article sums it up very well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html A monopolistic corporation joining a free (not gratis, free as in free software) network is always a hostile takeover.
