I'm amazed at the amount of people who claim to be for #decentralization & #opensource & still use Twitter w/o !identica or !statusnet.

@swadeshine "open source" usually doesn't cut it.

@swadeshine It's not all or nothing. Decentralisation serves a need that arises when corporations behave badly. Twitter's ok.* *so far

@swadeshine If sheer number of adopters mean it's already too late, then it's already too late. But I don't believe that -- never too late.

@laroquod identi.ca is only one aspect of the Status.net approach to social media federation. Plus it's Canadian & not subject to DOJ.
