As we all know, in decentralisation the planning and decision making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group. Lets analyze how far we are from reaching the goal.
Below is a screenshot of the Hive ecosystem.
Let me quote about the Hive Ecosystem in their own words.
Hive has a thriving ecosystem of apps, communities & individuals, leveraging the Hive blockchain & decentralised structure.
Let us now look at the source code of few of them and understand their dependency on (or connection with) tech giants (Google and Facebook).
1. 3speak
2. STEMsocial
3. SteemPress
4. Actifit
As we can see the dependency on Google (or some sort of connection to Google and/or Facebook) on the pics above. I think its time to rethink about the decentralisation goals.
One goal should be to remove any dependency on centralised tech giants, and push dapps higher. These comapnies are known to follow you everywhere and track each and every activity, and now even on decentralised apps.
Lets take a step further and remove those trackers from our way who keep on shadowing us.
I will write a comprehensive post later on this topic. I will end my post here with a quote from wikipedia page about "decentralisation". Let's learn from history.
The French Revolution began with "a push towards decentralization...[but became,] in the end, an extension of centralization.
