Fediverse is 100% Decentralized or not?
(lemmy.world)
Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it's just distributed across more servers.
I mean, it definitely gives users more rights to free speech, and I'm not worried about privacy issues. However, the removal of content and the banning of accounts are things that are diminishing my passion for sharing my thoughts publicly(on reddit).
I just dont want this happened on here but I am seeing some...
Why do you think so ?
Because it's polycentric. Each instance is a center. When an instance goes down, it takes all its users and data with it.
I know people around here aren't fond of cryptocurrency, but bitcoin is what I'd consider a truly decentralized system. Nothing is lost to the network when a bitcoin node goes down. As long as you have your private key, you can spend from any node, and you don't even need a node to receive.
I believe it's helpful to distinguish between the two types of systems.
Thanks for explaining ๐
Thanks for asking. :) Have a good one.
