Could the modes described in #Meaningness (systematic, countercultural, subcultural, atomized, fluid) be applied to the network topologies of network software?
1) Centralized networks = systematic mode
2) Federated networks = countercultural mode
3) Private networks (eg #BBS, mailing lists, web forums) = subcultural mode
4) Distributed networks = atomized mode
5) Hybrid federated/ distributed networks = fluid mode
Do any hybrid networks exist yet? Maybe #Zot with #NomadicIdentity?
