@darius

@darius i think you also need to take into account the nature and value of what the energy is doing. the goal is not to eliminate energy use, but to use energy on things that are actually beneficial. i think it's reasonable to hold that centralized social media is not beneficial, and that therefore energy used for it is always a waste

@aparrish @darius on top of that, the lack of focused political power and lobby budget and legal department etc. among a widely distributed citizen network of small servers means that if the energy cost becomes prohibitive or irresponsible at at time of scarcity, the solution will not be to e.g. bribe congress into tweaking regs to subsidize a corporation, pretend the problem isn't there, and externalize the costs on everybody else.
