You should explain what you mean by decentralized.

A CDN? Serverless on something like Cloudflare's workers?

View on HN

* All content mirrored on IPFS or Storj or whatever

* All transactions on the content made available and properly structured into a DAG of signed documents

* Make the API public and open source so people can run their own peers (basically, federation of access points)

I don't think that's worth the work for most tech-savvy audiences, let alone a non tech-savvy one.

Thanks. I'm trying to gauge whether people think decentralization (and censorship/deplatforming resistance) will be a strong draw in an era of dissatisfaction with dominant social media and community sites. I'll take that as a strong No from your perspective.
