Blurt and Decentralisation

in blurtlife •  3 years ago 

I was watching this video by @famigliacurione and it bought up some thoughts for me regarding centralisation.

I have thought for a while now that these platforms can be whatever they want but at the end of the day it's the people themselves that have to make something decentralised, people can somehow centralise everything if they wish to and it's really the lower dimensional humans constant desire to stay in control/ retain control. This can be obvious and it can also be more subtle, but unless people have really done a LOT of self work and learnt how to live in a state of surrender, they will be terrified by dropping the illusion of control and power to protect themselves. You can even see this in relationship dynamics where people will chase or pull back in order to stay in control of their experience. The good old attachment/ avoidant dynamic that I have researched a LOT. Well this duality plays out everywhere till we learn to transcend it.

Blurt is kind of allowing humans to really behave as they want for the most part and allow them to re define how to act within the new society, without being told, but rather coming to some kind of consensus that means you get votes/ money / followers/ can survive within the society. Hive was very clearly just a rerun of the bigger world, which I could see pretty much immediately from joining steemit, it has all these promises of being decentralised but it was obvious from day one it had zero decentralisation and is just a small version of the world. Blurt is new though ,this allows us to define our own rules as a society here. There still are some unspoken rules however, of people putting their own ideas on what is 'correct' behaviour onto others. The difference here though is that they can only not vote they cannot actually punish someone else for not living to their ideals/ standards. Blurt also makes people take responsibility for their own behaviour, it's like small scale seeing how a world would be without police and jails and requiring people to actually engage in a healthy society without being told what to do. People kind of have to individually want to be and understand what decentralisation is for it to be, a platform is not enough, I have always felt that.

I am actually pretty impressed with blurt so far because although of course some centralisation exists at this time it is a small glimpse into living in a society without forced rules or punishments for not following rules and I actually think it makes people on the most part behave better. There are some taking advantage but on the most part I see more giving people here than anywhere else, people are always supporting one another and I have seen healthier discussion here than anywhere else as people actually have to debate and discuss they can't just tell them to F off and downvote them / throw them in jail. I wonder if all these platforms are just set up by the CIA to see how humans behave in various societies lol. As long as they pay me I am down for it, I never really got behind the others so I'm still waiting for my decent payout when blurt goes to the moon :D

I believe Rycharde summed it up best when he said there is no such thing as decentralized. It's a matter of dependencies.

I see that overall there is much better behavior than the platforms that allow stake theft via down vote. Guessing the bullies feel impotent if all they can do is growl without biting.

I would be happy to see Blurt reach a value similar to what the mother and sister chain has done. It would be life changing. I don't plan anything around that happening, but would be nice for sure.

I certainly agree with this article, Rycharde's statment and yours. Thank you for sharing @ultravioletmag.
Blurt is by far the fairest, freest design, it's just a matter of time before it's competing on a level with the two others and eventually surpassing them. We just need to keep getting the word out.

I hope so ❤️ It’s genuinely the most interesting too it’s actually the only crypto blog I’ve genuinely enjoyed and learnt something from content. Hive for example only rly upvoted posts that talked about hive / hive t shirts or hive setups. No platform is succcesful that only talks about the platform. It’s like YouTube only talking about YouTube. Lol I find blurt has some genuinely interesting well written posts

HA I'm still learning, only today I wondered what IS the blockchain and is it different to the internet? I wondered coz they keep talking of turning off the internet and I wondered how people could use crypto if they did that. I just wish it wasn't so geeky so I could get my head around how it works. it feels like I'm in a different dimension when I'm on Blurt. I imagine this is what the early internet was like and look where that went. The sky's the limit as far as I'm concerned.
