Federated Social Web, Arguments why to do this
0 likes473 views
The document discusses the benefits of decentralized organizations over centralized ones. It notes that decentralized systems like ant colonies and starfish are able to mutate and adapt when attacked, unlike centralized systems like the Roman Empire. Decentralized systems allow for swarm intelligence where knowledge is distributed throughout the network. Examples of decentralized systems that have been successful include Linux, Wikipedia, and peer-to-peer file sharing networks. The document advocates for decentralized social networks using open protocols as an alternative to centralized social media monopolies.

arguments
to
decentralize
•
The
decentralized
organiza5on
sneaks
up
on
you:
• For
a
century,
the
recording
industry
was
owned
by
a
handful
of
corpora<ons,
and
then
a
bunch
of
hackers
altered
the
face
of
the
industry.
We’ll
see
this
paSern
repeat
itself
across
different
sectors
and
in
different
industries
.
• 6.
As
industries
become
decentralized,
overall
profits
decrease
but
social
efficiency
is
growing:
• The
combined
revenues
of
the
remaining
four
[music
industry
giants]
were
25
percent
less
than
they
had
been
in
2001.
Where
did
the
revenues
go?
Not
to
P2P
players
[Napster].
The
revenue
disappeared
.

Put
people
into
an
open
system
and
they’ll
automa5cally
want
to
contribute:
• People
take
great
care
in
making
the
ar<cles
objec<ve,
accurate,
and
easy
to
understand
[on
Wikipedia]
.
• 8.
When
a)acked,
centralized
organiza5ons
tend
to
become
even
more
centralized:
• As
we
saw
in
the
case
of
the
Apaches
and
the
P2P
players,
when

decentralized
organiza<ons

Federated Social Web, Arguments why to do this
- 1. Reinvent with the power of the people Dipl. Ing. Dan Romescu The Augmented Ci<zen Advocate @dromescu
- 3. Distributed structures in nature Ants colony
- 4. Why to decentralize? • 1. When a)acked, a decentralized organiza5on tends to become even more open and decentralized • 2. It’s easy to mistake starfish for spiders • 3. An open system doesn’t have central intelligence; the intelligence is spread throughout the system ( swarm intelligence) • 4. Open systems can easily mutate .
- 8. More arguments to decentralize • The decentralized organiza5on sneaks up on you: • For a century, the recording industry was owned by a handful of corpora<ons, and then a bunch of hackers altered the face of the industry. We’ll see this paSern repeat itself across different sectors and in different industries . • 6. As industries become decentralized, overall profits decrease but social efficiency is growing: • The combined revenues of the remaining four [music industry giants] were 25 percent less than they had been in 2001. Where did the revenues go? Not to P2P players [Napster]. The revenue disappeared . • 7. Put people into an open system and they’ll automa5cally want to contribute: • People take great care in making the ar<cles objec<ve, accurate, and easy to understand [on Wikipedia] . • 8. When a)acked, centralized organiza5ons tend to become even more centralized: • As we saw in the case of the Apaches and the P2P players, when aSacked decentralized organiza<ons become even more decentralized.
