While I really liked the idea of Lemmy at first, I think I couldn't really see any of its benefits in practice and ended up going back to reddit.
For me, decentralized is really good for some things, and I would like it to be more common on the internet, but I don't think it's the best for everything and it comes with certain challenges as well.
Still I would like to hear more about how this site could benefit from being decentralized. I admit my knowledge on the topic isn't very extense

Discussing politics without being tracked. We need a serious place for discussions without Centro mechanics that manipulate out narratives. We are egoless sincere and smart core of rebellious web, something internet was known for in early years and turned curated shit in 2010s

I'm sorry, I don't quite get what you mean by this.
I'm aware many websites use cookies to identify you across platforms in order to advertise stuff to you. Is that what you mean by being tracked? I agree it would be an advantage to have more control over that, but how does that prevent me from having good conversations or manipulate narratives?

Decentralization equalizes everyone, consumers and node operators. It reduces risks for critical posts and makes discussion real again.

But then how do you fight bots and XXXXX-sponsored agents tasked to sway public opinion?
You could generate LLM slop right now if you wanted, that's kind of irrelevant...

It’s not dead. Nobody is using decentralized services and it wouldn’t even make sense for an anonymous service like this. Go be a dumbass somewhere else
