Bookmarked We don't want decentralized systems, we want small ones by Andros Fenollosa.

Andros Fenollosa on why we want small systems instead of decentralized ones when talking about online communities. There are no commercial interests and people know each other. It’s like a shoe shop in a small town. The shop can only serve a few customers because there is little space, you know the owner’s name (maybe even his wife’s) and the shelves don’t offer much variety; and yet you know you will be well served and the owner wants you to leave with what is best for you.
