Maybe we need a better term, but all media should be decentralized. Like a website. Anybody can put it up and anybody can access it, nobody in between. Podcasts are like that. helps. does it for on demand video. does it for live video. for radio. for articles. There are others.

But our biggest need at the moment is in consumption. Better tools for those who want to access this stuff, manage it and handle recommendations. Great app developers.

Opera tried it with Unite (your browser was also a web server, serving your own pages, photos, music etc)

ctrl.blog/entry/opera-unite.ht

I admit, despite being a loyal Opera user then, I never really used Unite

was my easiest experience at self-hosting, sharing etc &, being distributed, avoided Unite's & self-hosting's biggest flaw: your content was still up even when your own server down/off

A refrigerator with the Opera Unite logo on the front door. The frige is sitting outside in a back alley.

Opera Unite tried decentralizing the web ten years ago

A decade ago, the Opera web browser shipped a virtual fridge and a built-in web server right inside its web browser. Why did it fail to decentralize the web?
