Isn’t everything effectively centralized in so far as a server host can cut your service? Or an ISP? Or even a payment processor? It seems the systems we built are too complex and rely on the judgment of too many humans. Humans that are easily influenced.

Even something like IPFS relies on unrestricted access to the internet. I’m against most government intervention, but requiring certain services to refrain from censorship seems like the only real path to an open web.

Scuttlebutt works quite well gossiping over a wifi router, doesn't even need to be connected to the internet. One could easily set up a mesh network in your home town and "socialize" over scuttlebutt without any further services.

IPFS sucks big time, not censorship resistant.

And memory is lost when you do "garbage collect".
