Unfortunately, Lemmy demonstrates pretty clearly that decentralized systems are just as vulnerable to propaganda and brain rot.

That's the nature of the beast. You can't have human users on a network without at least some slop.

But the decentralized network ensures that a "techno-baron" has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

That's decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.
