This week, the Catholic Church wrote one of the better diagnoses of why decentralised social networks keep struggling.

Good lord stop glazing this man

Hmmm

Solid conclusion! I had seen headlines but never actually read excerpts of the Pope's encyclical. Much to your article's point, I suspect, I never would have expected the head of the Catholic church to produce writing and arguments so relevant to the current state of the fedi.

I thought the pope was talking about Defenestration, sorely disappointed

I read a fair bit of it, and I was surprised to see so many of the talking points I hear from some of the techy/sciencey people I most respect, just with a religious coat of paint. He's clearly got some pretty clued up people advising him, and is wise enough to listen

Kinda funny seeing the pope promoting decentralized systems, with the catholcatholic church being one of the most centralized hirachical systems.

The church should keep its concerns strictly supporting orphans and windows--I mean widows.
