This is a valid issue that needs adressing. I see distributed, federated, server-based services (like XMPP; Diaspora/Friendica/OStatus; yes, even E- mail) as a stop-gap measure between centralised stuff we're getting from "TwitBook+", and completely decentralised, user-run software that *should* be our goal. The technical means that can allow us to achieve such complete decentralisation are among others: - DHT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table - HE : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption Projects aiming at doing just this include: - Sneer: http://sneer.me/ And before somebody says "it would never get popular": a real-world example of a hugely popular distributed "file locker" with copious amounts of redundancy is... BitTorrent. Also, interesting read: http://wiki.socialswarm.net/Beyond_the_federation -- Pozdrawiam Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Fundacja Wolnego i Otwartego Oprogramowania
