One of the deeper goals of the internet re-decentralisation movement needs to be abolishing hyperscale datacentres, and moving hosting to community-controlled small scale DataHubs.

One thing that would help is anti-monopoly rules that prevent companies from owning servers *and* owning businesses that rent servers. Or at least banning them from giving their own businesses preferential pricing.

Listening to the first episode of a Tech Won't Save Us podcast subseries, called Data Vampires;

Once again it occurs to me that hyperscaling of datacentres is exactly the wrong approach to hosting online services. Not just from an economic justice and environmental POV, but even from a business POV.
