I hate that the internet is reliant on tech giant infrastructure. I think part of the problem is that data centers and energy grids are not decentralized or capable of being sustained in an open source manner (unless a benevolent entity funds such a thing)

You can deploy open source software or your own apps even on big tech infrastructure, on your own domain.

The problem isn't infrastructure, it's that access to content isn't decentralized any more. Access to content is reliant on Google search or social media algorithms (who decide what to promote).
