Yeah this attacks a straw man version of the original article. Obviously Moxie did not mean that literally nobody wants to run their own servers, just that one lesson from web2’s success is that very few do and as a result systems will tend towards centralization in the favor of the people who do run their own servers.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoBut now you're attacking a straw man version of TFA, which is saying "sure, hardly anyone wants to run their own servers, but enough people do, and that's all you need for a suitably distributed infrastructure".
- kelnos 5y agoNot the parent you're replying to, but I disagree with the assertion in your summary. I don't think the "enough people" here actually is enough. We're talking about a small fraction of a percent of all internet users. I don't see how that could be enough give the non-server-runners the touted privacy, security, censorship-resistance, and data-ownership benefits of decentralization.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoI 100% agree, and said so elsewhere here. I'm just standing up for the claim(s) of TFA being stated and understood clearly.
