How to Kill a Decentralised Network (Such as the Fediverse)

Guys, there is only one sustainable way: hardcore technical regulation on interoperability on simple, but able to good enough job, stable in time protocols. Do not expect corps to be "nice" (they are at the begining but expecting them to stay so on the long run is just stellar stoupid, or an accute lack of experience).

For instance, for the web, most if not all web sites should have a noscript/basic (x)html portal (for "critical" web sites, this is "must" not "should").

Another example, for "chat", an IRC bridge (on top of TLS), augmented with a few commands for some bells and whistles.

But don't be naive: Big Tech will work and spend tons of money to torpedo such interop. Expect the worse: they will hire, in the shadows, teams of hackers to destroy your servers and clients. And they _will_ be cunnelingly hypocrit and dirty.

The author's core idea:

>if Meta joins the Fediverse, Meta will be the only one winning.

Argument: As history has shown, tech companies will keep embracing open protocols and standards at first, only to extend them behind closed doors, thus locking users in and finally destroying the "open" competitors.
