Heather<p>Last week, I explored why resilient systems need flexibility, not just centralization or decentralization. This week, I'm asking: how much does that flexibility cost? Optionality isn’t free, but it might be cheaper than dependency.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/Decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resilience</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CloudStrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CloudStrategy</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/IAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAM</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sphericalcowconsulting.com/2025/05/13/the-cost-of-decentralization/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sphericalcowconsulting.com/202</span><span class="invisible">5/05/13/the-cost-of-decentralization/</span></a></p>

nemo™ 🇺🇦<p>Big Tech prioritizes profit over democracy. Their algorithms amplify hate and polarization, undermine public debate, and can even manipulate elections. Using social media consciously-such as employing ad blockers and being aware of algorithmic influence-is an act of defending democracy.

This update is huge because it lowers the cost to operate a relay at &lt;35USD/month (apparently some raspberry pis can run a relay now), which is MUCH lower than the estimated 150$/month estimated with the non-sync v1.1 relays.</li><li>During this time, blacksky (an independant company who builds stuff on atproto (including rsky, an independant atproto library in rust) for the black community) has released its own relay at atproto.africa</li><li>alternatives to bsky.app have been published, such as deer.social which uses atproto.africa</li></ul>
