This article on decentralization as conspiracy-thinking magnet is extremely weird https://www.wired.com/story/the-hidden-dangers-of-the-decentralized-web/

I feel like there’s a real story there on paranoia and bitcoin and ct but like…the author uses the example of a decentralized network telling people to write down their security info and keep it safe as evidence for paranoid/mistrustful thinking. And Wired published it. Is locking my front door also evidence of “separatist”/conspiratorial impulses?

@kissane Wired having a big week. https://defector.com/how-not-to-interview-a-transportation-secretary

@max @kissane OTOH remembering how I caught their then-editor plagiarizing Wikipedia extensively in his bad book, I guess I do get it.

@waldoj Am I remembering that he went on to spread “ideas worth spreading”?
