@thenexusofprivacy @rysiek I do think "has different meanings and interpretations" makes "decentralized" unsuitable for debating whether or not the fediverse or Bluesky is decentralized; "many meanings" doesn't mean "no meaning", but I think it does when you're trying to use it to compare different aspects of different things with different people because it's almost impossible to be on the same page.

"Meaningless" is just shorthand for "no common ground to argue from."
