No that’s not the point at all. Most of these instances are hosted on public clouds. Lemm.ee which is the instance I use is hosted on Hetzner I believe. Maybe you should actually listen to what instance admins are telling you instead of guessing.
Also the cloud is decentralized. Data centers are spread all over the world. Splitting them up smaller wouldn’t reduce their power usage either. If anything it would increase it.
You realize the point of decentralization is to not have to use data centers?
You realize there’s a major difference between what we’re doing here and the processing power necessary to train LLMs?
