But isn’t this the very centralisation we’re trying to avoid?

[Qwertious]

Centralization is about infrastructure, so no. This would be a monoculture, assuming nobody forks. But if it's a FOSS monoculture and nobody forks, that implies that everyone is fairly satisfied with it.

[mbreese]

I didn’t think that centralization itself was the problem… just where the centralization was occurring (outside the EU).

Not if everyone runs their own servers.

When it's open source, forking / moving is always an option and you're not vendor locked or being charged exuberant fees with no other option.

And of course it would have to be OSS to be in any way justifiable, that public money is put into it.
