If you want true decentralization, either do a federated system (like Mastodon, heh), peer-to-peer (like BitTorrent), or self-host.
This article confirms my suspicions: Web3 is NOT as decentralized as people think it is. https://www.neelc.org/posts/web3-centralized/
Web3 is centralized (and inefficient!) - Neel Chauhan
These days, an app is “decentralized” if it uses the blockchain. As you probably already know, this is part of the so-called “Web3” which hopes to be the next version of the internet. I’m not the first person to tell you this, and certainly not the last, but Web3 is in fact centralized, just as Web2 was. Web3 is just a worse version of Web2.

Screenless MacBooks masquerading as Mac Minis are selling like hotcakes in China
The Chinese used laptop market has an interesting new fad going on. MacBooks with their screen removed entirely are being sold as standalone computing devices, complete with keyboard/touchpad functionality. Depending on the make/model, it can be bought for as little as RMB 799 (US$127).
