I'm... not quite convinced that the solution lies in decentralized technology; which has an inherent development complexity cost associated with it, making it difficult to compete with centralized services. I think the solution is non-commercial ad-hoc-federated initiatives.

What you describe is the bridge. I agree that the bridge is crucial (& that’s what I’m working on too; helping to build that bridge). The other leg of that bridge is in peer to peer.

But that's the thing - I don't think it is. Security modelling is *much* harder for peer-to-peer software, and that is why it has traditionally failed to compete with centralized alternatives, except for cases where things like legal pressure tip the scales (eg. filesharing).

Things that are an hour's work to implement in a centralized system, will often easily require weeks to months of security modelling in a fully decentralized system just to ensure that it cannot be subverted. There's no trusted system playing arbiter.
