Irrelevant. Twitter itself is controlled by a single entity. It is centralized. Having a bunch of users under their control making content doesn't make it decentralized

lol ok I'm obviously not trying to argue that twitter itself is a decentralized entity but if you wanna take it that way no worries

they're not though, most of the people aren't talking in the same threads there's hundreds of new posts generated every second, all with the potential to connect together at any time, but mainly out on their own doing their own thing, generating independent discussions you would agree it's not as centralized as something like a work Slack, correct?

I do not agree with that. Open vs closed is a different spectrum than centralized vs decentralized. One is about who can join. The other is about who is control

ok so view it from a content production standpoint twitter is an entertainment website yes? a traditional entertainment website is top down, the creator decides what gets displayed to the visitors like a single person's blog, they publish what they want on there, the content production is entirely centralized under them but twitter is different because the content production has no central direction, it's the hivemind talking about what it wants to talk about at any point in time that's the "decentralization" here

Twitter.com goes down and none of that "decentralized" content generation matters. It's all built on top of a centralized foundation. If twitter were decentralized, blue sky wouldn't exist and wouldn't be differentiating itself by calling itself a decentralized social network

ok yes but I'm not concerned with the infrastructure of twitter at the end of the day the content production happens in a decentralized manner every day, does it not? no one sits around planning what will be discussed or liked on twitter, it just happens calling it centralized is like calling the internet centralized because if the major world governments shut down the undersea communication infrastructure we wouldn't be able to talk to each other any more

"Majority of the governments" sure sounds like multiple entities in control to me.

well yes but again I don't really care about debating who can or cannot shut stuff down I'm talking about content decentralization and the internet is very decentralized from that angle because it produces vast amounts of content with no central direction just my opinion tho
