Nobody builds a successful decentralized app, period.


The web is just that. Also Usenet (it was successful for at least a decade or two), and email as the sibling notes.


Would you say activity on the web is getting more or less centralized? I wonder what the general public even perceives as “on the web” versus eg “a post on instagram”

Email is distributed but either you pay Google/Microsoft to host it for you or you host it somewhere else..that carefully and proactively follows their rules.


DNS too.


email
