I also agree with your point about different forms of centralization, and I think that we are in a world where e.g. funding is fairly centralized.
I also wanted to emphasize that I agree with Edo that it’s good to have centralized discussion platforms etc. - e.g. I think it would probably be bad if someone set up a competitor to the Forum that took 50% of the viewers. (But maybe fine if they quickly stole 100% of the Forum’s viewers by being much better.)
