Re: " Are we rebuilding the centralized web, minus tracking?..."
My initial thought is that the difference between the wider web and gemini space is that a large percentage of the people posting in a place like this DO have their own places and their own blogs and whatnot. Whereas on the wider internet a lot of people have, say, a Twitter account, and nothing else. So if they lose that, they lose everything. I think you need some places to gather, and it's okay if some of those places are on the bigger side. But it can't be the only place you have a digital identity and fingerprint. I think it's more important to preserve that culture than it is to try to break a big forum into smaller forums.

@lori i agree
That’s the key thing, it’s about reliance
Preserving the culture of having homes, not just town squares

I wrote a (too long) comment here:

@sirwilburthefirst : The last paragraph is dedicated to your tinylog comments :).

It would be cool if we could add links to our gemlogs that show up in our u/ feeds by default
— Are we rebuilding the centralized web, minus tracking?
Here's fodder for s/discuss. How worried should we be about centralization in Geminispace?
