Selfhosting everything yourself is not realistic for the majority of users. And even experts who have the time, money and expertise, can't selfhost everything, after all at some point they must exchange data and trust others work. I mean, just take this forum. How would you selfhost this place which needs a centralized power which upholds order? How would you realize a good moderation and trustable voting on a dezentralized forum, with sane solutions? Sure you could decentralize this all and play blockshit-bingo, for a high price. But until we have a true dang-ai, forget about the quality of moderation. And this is just for a simple text-forum, let's not talk about youtube or the like... That's the point were solutions like solid make sense. Places where centralization is unavoidable, but also places were people are to lazy or "poor" to use other solutions, thus a compromise for the real world.
