> In my opinion, this type of "technical" thinking contributes to misdiagnosing why the majority do not use decentralized services. A good point, but I don't think it's economics. I believe the issue is more just interest. Even if it were made super easy, most people have no reason to switch. Sure, people who like their privacy want it, but those are the kinds of people who should, in fact, join together and start their own network and stop complaining that the vast majority of people won't join them. Maybe on our biz cards, we could put info to access our private networks, like diaspora, and that would give us an opportunity to promote it when people read it. Most people are sheep. They'll follow the crowd when something interests them, regardless of the technical or economic difficulty. I mean for Pete's sake - why on earth would anyone spend LOTs of money on "fashionable" jeans with HOLES? - But people do.
