On the other hand, the way we socialise with strangers inherently benefits from centralisation. There's a good reason everyone will intuitively go to the largest instance: it's where everyone else is.
To alleviate that, you'd need to blur the lines enough for it to no longer be visible even. All communities behave as if they're local and so on.
