That is a very good point and is something that needs to be sorted out. There is or at least was a video platform that paid crypto that I think had the right ideas, but was not well executed and frankly even if it was great, most crypto projects were scams.
I do suspect that as we make our way more into the AI and robotics era, that how we measure value will shift and suddenly decentralized platforms will generate some form of income of it will even be called that. Until then, you are right, there is little incentive for creators to move to a platform that makes them no money and people are ok with their privacy and data being shared so the status quo it is.

Same issue as Lemmy. Not enough people see centralized media as an issue and thus the status quo will continue.

How do you get to the decentralized place then as those in power will never let go. Perhaps if we the people embraced decentralized alternatives, it would start to tips the scales and bring more balance but it seems like we need more suffering first.

I moved to Vietnam and thus I am confused about Communism. Seems to me that the state described in the wiki is the same end goal so have read about, but it just seems like we do not get there as humans with power do not want to let go even if the intentions are good. Like BluSky. They have a great vision and idea that reminds me of communism. First you have to have centralize to coordinate the decentralization…and then it never happens. It is why I really believe this only way to keep centralization in check is decentralization to balance the equation.

Thanks for the reply. I am not understanding. What is the modern definition of communism then? Are you saying it is really about Socialism?
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 1 week ago:
What fact is incorrect?
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 1 week ago:
Just that good intentions to become decentralized do not work. Not saying capitalism is better as they are two sides of the same centralized coin.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 1 week ago:
I would agree. Both Capitalism and Communism are two sides of the centralized coin.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 1 week ago:
That is ok. I have never had an issue sharing facts that may trigger some. In fact the only reason it triggers some is it hits somewhere deep.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 1 week ago:
Bluesky is like a mini example of why Communism does not work. Centralization is a drug.

What do you believe the danger is?
- Comment on ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it 1 week ago:
When I say thank you, I am actually thanking the entity of AI, the tech, the people behind the tech, and all of humanity for the knowledge that makes it worthwhile.
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 1 week ago:
Agreed. A lot of people who think Communism is the answer to Capitalism fail to recognize that both are just different sides of the same centralization coin. Sure the utopian vision of Communism is decentralized governance, but the minute there is one party with all the power, even with the intention of going full decentralization one day, never do. Why? Same reason as Capitalism…centralized power is a drug that humans cannot let go of. Communism is just what every capitalist wishes they had…complete control.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
The tech needs to be decentralized like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is untouchable as it is just so decentralized. You can go after nodes and miners, but you would have to go after all of them to take down any of its content. It is very resilient and social media could go the same way but people have to want it first.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
If it was truly decentralized it would be like Bitcoin that has not been brought down by any government or organization yet they sure have tried.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
Centralization is going to do what centralization does best.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
Funny as I got downvoted to oblivion for saying Bluesky was not really decentralized.

- Comment on Why Companies Don’t Fix Bugs 2 weeks ago:
I too have been in the inside and I was one of those types who fought to do the right thing. The reason was much more simple to understand than this article…companies are run by sociopaths, psychopaths, Narcissists and doing the right thing is not their motivation. That said, while it might be easy to point the finger at them, they only get their power as soon as many kiss their ass and accept the wrong. You know…sort of like what is happening in the USA and most other country’s. We have a massive problem and we are not even really talking about it. Instead some want to blame capitalism and while sure it is part of the problem, you better believe and centralized human group has and will suffer from the same issues to varying degrees.
- Comment on Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke tells employees to prove AI can’t do the job before asking for resources. 2 weeks ago:
I love AI and use it everyday, but right now it absolutely lacks logic, even the reasoning models and thus it really cannot replace a whole person outside of what 1 prompt can give you which is not a career.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. I would add that not only would job loss be enormous, but many corporations are suddenly going to be competing with individuals armed with the same AI.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 3 weeks ago:
I too am a developer and I am sure you will agree that while the overall intelligence of models continues to rise, without a concerted focus on enhancing logic, the promise of AGI likely will remain elusive. AI cannot really develop without the logic being dramatically improved, yet logic is rather stagnant even in the latest reasoning models when it comes to coding at least.
I would argue that if we had much better logic with all other metrics being the same, we would have AGI now and developer jobs would be at risk. Given the lack of discussion about the logic gaps, I do not foresee AGI arriving anytime soon even with bigger a bigger models coming.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
That is why centralized platforms, especially powerful ones, are sitting ducks waiting to become even more corrupt. Why more people are not leaving centralized services is a crime against humanity as it is clear that supporting theme means society suffers.
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 3 weeks ago:
The same can also be said about Fiat currency and really supporting anything centralized as we need to balance power with some decentralization to keep it in check, but so few seem to care.
