> You don't have control over your data. (...) as long as you trust Facebook

You just lost any right to complain over people misusing words.

> With decentralized social media, you completely let go of any control and there is nobody to take over it.

Quite the opposite. Decentralized social media allows you to be in control if you so desire.

> I'm afraid all the privacy problems of decentralization .

You were arguing that centralized systems are inherently more private. This is absolute and utter bullshit.

Is the "real privacy" story weak on federated social media? Yes, currently it is. But to have a "real private" communication platform, control MUST be given to the end user, which in effect means that the system MUST be decentralized.
