Man, I been waiting for this for years. I thought with the way Mastodon grew it'd eventually grow into a wider growth among the fediverse but it seems to happen in fits and starts. Glad to see people are federating too and not all dumping into just the mainline instance.
Next I'd like to see major names move off YouTube and Twitch onto decentralized platforms but that's gonna take much more to get there, unfortunately.
Imagine a site that replaces YouTube that has both the like/dislike and ratings but also feels like the golden era of YouTube. One can only dream
YouTube is a tough one, because it actually pays content providers. Of course, I'm all for places like Peertube gaining popularity.
Yes, it's probably one of the hardest to replace, but I was thinking that it could be hard because of hosting the content
You're right, storage requirements would be massive as well! On the one hand, a big corporation like Google would have the advantage of big datacentres, but community hosting seems to be able to seed a huge amount of data too. This one will be interesting to watch.
I think Nebula is already a step in the right direction even though it's not decentralized
