+Decentralization
+================
+
+**Decentralization** refers to distributing activity away from a central, authoritative location.
+
+In computing, a prominent example of [[centralization]] are large online platforms (often related to social media). Decentralization of these includes moving activity from them to smaller servers ([[smallnet]], [[Fediverse]]), as well as moving away from the [[WWW]] towards more [[offline-tolerant|offline first]] or [[peer-to-peer]] protocols.
+
+Decentralization supports [[diversity]] (including [[technological diversity]]) and empowers users to own the technology and services they use.
