The paradox of decentralization is that the more a technology ecosystem decentralizes, the more need there is for cohesive coordination to assure that the foundational technologies can support that decentralization, without the ecosystem falling apart.
Note: Fediverse with its app-centric development approach leads to ad-hoc interoperability and protocol decay, is de-facto a #technosphere that's unable to solve the paradox. It falls prey to #DigitalTransformationFallacy
Yea, it depends how you look at it.
It becomes stagnant in that it is not able to innovate, make progress, become more robust and mature, and evolve sustainably.
It falls apart as an ecosystem that is able to deliver on the vision of bringing us "the future of social networking".
I updated the toot above to refer to a related Social coding commons topic:

Are the foundational technologies of the web, the open standards, easy to innovate and evolve?
Maybe in the case of the web they sorta kinda are, because of the influence of the browser oligopoly at the WhatWG, i.e. a small group of parties / not so decentralized.
