I think in general it's supposed to be about decentralisation, but god knows scammers will hop straight onto anything with "point-oh" in the name

Exactly. Blockchain is decentralized, so a lot of people have jumped to that, but it really doesn't have to be. I'm interested in distributed projects, which goes a step further than federation, and I think that is the gold standard for an open internet.
