dunno how you're defining decentralization, but interop comes and goes while decentralization is forever (by my definition).
remember how interoperable everything was during the maps/flickr/etc mashup era?

Today's attempt at definitions:
Federated is where power structures can accumulate on a single provider and disadvantage others.
Decentralized is where the power structure is democratized/collectively owned and can't be concentrated to disadvantage others.

I view most things through the lens of maintaining.
"Vibe coded" (derogatory) is a software product with no intent of being maintained.
I've been trying to get better at vibe coding things I will be willing to maintain, not sure if it deserves a better term.

PSA for the open source maintainers in the house: Big undesirable drive-by haphazard PRs are not new.
Maybe AI is making them more common, but IMO the correct way to handle them rests on whether we're willing to maintain this code or not, regardless if it's written by vibes or meat.
Eg from 2018:

...It's hard for me to imagine that we somehow manage to keep all of that the same by virtue of just tweaking some laws around and litigating more aggressively.
It may delay the pain of change for a while, but probably not very long.
IMO the 100+ year vision is hopeful, not worse than yesterday.

I often try to imagine what society looks like in 100+ years when we take all these things for granted: I imagine that our culture around media and evidence is very different, our systems of trust are different, our communities are different and hopefully stronger/tighter.
