As a political ideology, decentralization has been popular since it spiked in 2004, and it, along with the idea of decentralized social media, spiked again this April. Many suggest this piqued interest is due to Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube’s intense censoring and flagging efforts in an attempt to crush fake news spreading on their platforms, which some say were politically biased. This, and Twitter’s ban of Donald Trump, has led many of Trump’s followers to look for decentralized social media options. Many of these alternative social media options are seen as “right-wing-biased” because of this influx, which has kept a lot of liberal entities in the mainstream networks despite their usual inclination to embrace new technological trends.
