    • No single company owns both the server and the client
    • No ads (Yet)
    • Competition
    • Open source
      • Trust in the code base
      • The network will survive if your server drops

        • Negatives of the federated web

        • Many servers, Many admins and many problems
        • Fragmented experiences
        • Duplicated data is unsafe data
        • Logs logs logs. At scale this isn’t cheap
        • Stay off the block chain
