After today's @platformcoop community hangout, I've been pondering whether blockchain's ideologies (decentralization, trustlessness, economicism) are really convivial (in the Illichian sense) to the aims of cooperativism and collective social change... Counter-intuitively, I think decentralization actually produces new, more subtle forms of centralization. They're the same, when we think them in binary. This co-production is often marked by the idea that communities are homogeneous—that there's one goal, one shared perspective.
