> "Sadly, I think we are in a race with ourselves in this centralization vs decentralization debate. We need the decentralized tech stack to evolve more quickly and show the world how decentralized technology works in a mainstream way at scale before policy makers and regulators force the tech sector to go the wrong way." This is something I've been working on for the last few years. I've been working on a selfhosted music server that anyone can setup in there home to stream their collection. I've had some success building a dependency version that's deployable as an EXE for Windows (or pkg for OSX). The fact is most people aren't going to setup a separate computer just to host a decentralized server. But people are willing to use their current hardware for decentralization. And most people's current hardware is a Windows PC. The other thing I focussed on was making it dependency free. This way you can just install it and run. Most people don't want to hunt down dependancies and write config files. The fact is, decentralization won't take off until people can do it effortlessly. The reason centralized services rule is because it requires no effort or cost to the end user. Until that changes, decentralization will always be a niche
