The thing with Twitter decentralizing is a paradox. If they do it to any meaningful way; Opening the source, no centralized content moderation, etc. it ceases to be Twitter as we know it, and it doesn’t matter if it replaces the Fediverse. But since it won’t do that, it can’t reach the user base we already have. It’s not something to be worried about.

Twitter?? Decentralizing? 😂😂😂

Even if they implement by joining the , I highly doubt that they'd dare to actually decentralize. More likely that they'd remain a single centralized instance, on a decentralized protocol.

@realcaseyrollins @alex It’s hard to say because they’ve revealed basically nothing. My guess is closed source, similarly structured to Discord rooms, except you actually have to host on your own server and domain. But they can still terminate you from the network if they get a hair up their ass.

Basically, a way to mitigate hosting costs and have a less intense administrative burden by creating a multi-tier hierarchy.

Ofc, that’s just how I’d do it if I wanted to decentralize while maintaining the brand.

Why can't everything be P2P, smh...worked out for when they had millions of users and nothing to mitigate.

(I was also talking with a friend about how this would also be a great option for online game development, as you can always play the game online with others no matter what, no need to maintain servers.)
