It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

There are lots of other galaxy-brain moments there.

Monopolization of what exactly? The use of the FOSS software?

It's not anyone's fault that FOSS is objectively superior in every way.

Monopoly is when my favorite tech giant doesn't own the entire market.

As far as I can tell, his argument is about the instability of distributed networks. The fact that they tend to collapse into centralized hubs isn’t a terrible observation and I’m sure there’s some relevant math about why that happens. It just doesn’t follow that monopolies form because of information exchange. Markets aren’t well modeled by simple networks.
