    Problem: most people post using their phones, and actually hosting the content on their phones would murder battery life.

    Edit: Also overrun data caps and anger cell phone companies.

      The battery life thing is actually a really good point, didn’t think about that. Another step towards decentralisation would be using P2P mesh networking between individual phones instead of 4G for data, and I guess that might avoid centralised cell companies all together…
