Notes

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (26/N) “Distributed begets centralised.” For every distributed communication system we have developed, somebody has had to develop a centralised system to make it usable.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (25/N) And as soon as somebody offers deluxe, hosted, managed websites (or pods, or whatever), they will dominate the system.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (24/N) Maintaining your own website (or "pod", or whatever) is a big time commitment. And only makes sense if you don't count your time as cost.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (23/N) "Distributing" may hide the cost, but it also probably increases it.

@natesjacobs @csarven @lesliekwchan @ewout @sciteai @CrossrefOrg (22/N) (I didn't say I liked it- just that it jibes with reality.)
