84 This is the most complicated aspect to understand, yet a crucial one. Being based on {{ xmpp }}, SàT is immediately decentralised (federated). But what does it mean? To get this point, we need to imagine the Internet as a set of layers. To make it easier, let's say there are only two layers: the physical and the logical one. On the physical layer, you are directly connected to your {{ isp }}, and indirectly to all the rest of the world. 85 This is the most complicated aspect to understand, yet a crucial one.

106 Now what if your favorite social network is decentralised? The main difference is that there's not a single entity to manage all the connections and all the data, but a lot of them. 107 Now what if your usual "social network" is decentralised? The main difference is that there's not a single entity to manage all the connections and all the data, but a lot of them.
107 All the users are connected to the same network, but each of them can decide which server they want to connect to. As a result, the data and the network administration's tasks are shared between all the servers. Is it possible to do that on the Internet? Yes, this is how the Email works! That's decentralisation. 108 All the users are connected to the same network, but each of them can decide which server they want to connect to.
