      @phildini Fediverse has been around for 8 years now. IRC and XMPP even longer. Dtube rebuilds Youtube via Webtorrent. So, eEverything's decentralized and already sitting there waiting for people to use it.
      You see where the point of failure is, do you?

         @vinzv @phildini With these older systems, and some of the newer ones, the main barrier was the difficulty of running a server. If we can make installing servers easier - and I think that is getting easier over time - or move most things to P2P without servers then the decentralization problem is more solvable.

            @bob I know. But that's not what @phildini was claiming a lack of, if I got him right. The tools are there, have been for long time. If people mourn about golden cages and data silos they have to look over their plates' edges.
