People say decentralization is the future. Well, they’re right and they’re wrong.
Is it the immediate future? Yes.
Is it the ultimate future? No.
#P2P (that is, #PeerToPeer) technology is the actual future

@realcaseyrollins Peer to peer **is** decentralized, one of many types of decentralization.
I suspect what you meant to say was "federation" instead of "decentralization" (both federation and peer to peer are two categories under neat decentralization).
@freemo @realcaseyrollins I would technically call p2p “Distributed” BUT if a decentralized social network has single user instances is it distributed also???… is email decentralized? Yes. If we all have one email account per email server is it now Distributed?
I also just refer to stand-alone applications that use some protocol to communicate with each other DECENTRALIZED.
