We could have decentralized communications if we ever actually use IPV6 in production. Static IP's for all, much easier to self-host.

The other large issue is once you self-host, you're now liable for moderation of illegal content. I'm not sure how to fix that part.

No we couldn't, because, despite its name, IPv6—just like it's predecessor—functions as a network protocol and can't support internetworking at all.

Consider RINA and/or GNUnet instead. IPv6 just represents a bandaid.
