I would say so. If anarchism at its core is the removal of hierarchy, it makes sense to say decentralization is the road towards anarchism.

It's easy to become infatuated with the freedom of the fediverse. I slowly reject centralized platforms for the federated communities because despite their smaller size, it just feels good to use.

I'm relatively new to the fediverse but I see fediverse instances as being in a horizontal relationship rather than a vertical one.

Some discussions on the topic on an anarchist newsboard: What does Raddle think about federation? , What is your opinion about bringing federation to raddle/postmill?
