Moxie Marlinspike explores the product and ecosystem challenges of building decentralized and federated communication systems based on his experience with Signal.
media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11086-the_ecosystem_is_moving Challenges for distributed and decentralized technology from the perspective of Signal development Considerations for distributed and decentralized technologies from the perspective of a product that many would like to see decentralize. Amongst an environment of enthusiasm for blockchain-based technologies, efforts to decentralize the internet, and tremendous investment in distributed systems, there has been relatively little product movement in this area from the mobile and consumer internet spaces. This is an exploration of challenges for distributed technologies, as well as some considerations for what they do and don't provide, from the perspective of someone working on user-focused mobile communication. This also includes a look at how Signal addresses some of the same problems that decentralized and distributed technologies hope to solve.

Highly recommended as a seminal critique of decentralized and federated protocols, explaining why centralized ecosystems move faster.
