Would you use social media if there were a viable decentralized alternative?
I debate this question a lot. Some of what I’m working on now is along the lines of a decentralized web. I think there’s certain aspects that I would like to use, and if it was a decentralized as much as possible, I should have more control in what I see and how I see it. But even mastodon didn’t do it for me either (though it’s more distributed than decentralized).
For now, I’m in the mindset that I’d really like to avoid almost all online interactions in favor of physical experiences. Id have to see if a decentralized alternative were to pop up AND be socially healthy as well. A responsible social media of some sorts.
