On one side 'everyone has a server' sounds interesting but on the other side 
could come very unpractical. I look for similar situation to Community 
Supported Agriculture, where small local collectives or IT savy individuals 
offer services for local communities. Many of my friends, especially those who 
don't feel super comfortable with computers or try to use them as little as 
possible, would appreciate if someone else kept supporting them with 
maintaining their online accounts!
