, a protocol specified by the World Wide Web Consortium . Put another way, Mastodon is an implementation of ActivityPub.by Bryan Cantrill made several good points about the benefits of decentralization as it applies to social media, including the increased opportunities for experimentation that arise when the operation of the social network is no longer the province of a single corporation.
It’s worth digging a bit deeper into what we mean by decentralization here. Twitter is not a monolith: it is a giant distributed system, made up of a large number of microservices. For example, here is a quote from a Twitter infrastructure blog: Organizationally, however, Twitter is centralized. When Twitter decides to change its API, it can do so unilaterally, to the detriment of any third party apps that try to use that API. Likewise, it can unilaterally change its policies on content moderation, banning of users, etc., in a way that drove plenty of users to look for an alternative.
on how to scale the performance of a Mastodon instance made me fairly sure that I don’t want to run one myself for any serious purpose.
