Interesting idea, but just reads like a lot of hand wringing to me. And comparing centralization of the web to colonial rule is ridiculous and honestly pretty insensitive.
I like that it acknowledges that running a personal web server is out of reach (technologically and financially) for most people. But I'm not sure if its proposed decentralized network is any better, because creating web content and having a large number of people see it are not easy.
At the end of the day, most people using the web do not have a technical background and really just want to microblog to their friends using a simple interface. Facebook/Twitter/Instagram and hell, even Snapchat do that. I'm having trouble imagining a decentralized network that replicates that.
