Cloud in general was a mistake. We took a system explicitly designed for decentralization and resilience and centralized it and created a few neat points of failure to take the whole damn thing down.

Threat actors (DDoS) and AI scraping already threw a wrench in decentralization. It's become quite difficult to host anything even marginally popular without robust infrastructure that can eat a lot of traffic

At some point we really need to think if this is the web we want, one/two major actors are down and everything goes with it Not downplaying the immense work of infra / engineering at this scale but my neighborhood local grocery market shouldn’t be down

BLOCKCHAINS! I mean, some sort of P2P hosting and/or node discovery would be nice.

You think we have a say in this?
