The biggest problem with decentralization is that most people cannot imagine it, at all. Most people, including developers, are limited to what they are already familiar with, which is websites and content. That is not decentralized and any attempt to use websites or content to frame some discussion of decentralization is at best grossly incomplete.
If you want to think in terms of decentralization you have to stop thinking in terms of broadcast, influence, publication, and broadcast. In a decentralized system you only influence those whom you are directly connected to and only if they wish to consume it.
If the goal of your online presence is some form of attention seeking behavior then be happy with Twitter and Facebook. If on the other hand you wish to share and expose absolutely everything without embarrassment or violations of privacy decentralization is probably something amazing.
