How does "decentralized" and "own your own data" fit together? Presumably, decentralized means your data is on everyone else's server, rather than on one provider (the 'cloud') or your own ('self-hosted')?
- cdata 4y agoWhen we say "decentralized," we don't mean that your data is deliberately scattered around the network; we mean that the underlying infrastructure providers are fungible. In other words, you own your data because you can change infrastructure providers as it suits you, and other users who interact with you on the network generally won't notice or otherwise care that you did that.
