> Even nerds do not want to run their own servers at this point. Even organizations building software full time do not want to run their own servers at this point. If there’s one thing I hope we’ve learned about the world, it’s that people do not want to run their own servers.
Why is this true? At this point it's never been easier to make your own static website, deploy nginx, and get online. Maybe not everyone wants to make a website, but you would think that everyone that does want to make a website would be able to and deploying a server would not be the bottleneck.
It's the things that come with running a server that everyone dreads: software updates, downtime, potential attacks and misconfigurations.
As an example, I think we would have more decentralized social networks if moderation was easier, so in a sense, these are human problems, but where the software hasn't caught up yet. So, hard agree that software should be easier to do. Servers are just one part of it IMO.
