TBL's Solid is a decent attempt to build a decentralized web. But imo it leans too heavily on clunky w3c protocols instead of building something new. The developer experience (at least when I tried it a few years ago) was awful. The end user experience isn't much better. The problem seems to be that any move towards decentralization necessarily comes with a hit to convenience or ease of use. So outside of the tiny subculture that cares about these things, these projects never get much traction. That said, I hope we keep building them--there could be a political future where they come in handy.
