    Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space on their servers.

        What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

        What is the incentive for people to share files via peer to peer networks?

        What is the incentive for people to host Minecraft servers?

        Need me to go on?

        If I’m your mind the only incentive that people have to host instances is to have power over it and its users then they’re exactly the kind of people you don’t want to see hosting instances.

          I liked the community that had built up and wanted to help that continue.
