I once wrote a paper about the dynamics of power in social technology that was so pretentious that I’m ashamed to share it now but it was entirely about how authority models get embedded in technological systems and this is a really good example of that. authority pockets exist all over these things

I want to read the pretentious paper

the problem is that if you view decentralization from the lens of removing authority entirely from the system then you’re asking for anarchy, which means no resource sharing and an overwhelming amount of pairwise relationship

this sounds cool, I am happy you've been there mentally

can you link to your paper by any chance? I live and breath this stuff.
