The pace at which this happens is determined by the barriers and limits of the context. This is why centralists want to have big barriers such as proprietary technology and government backing by laws and other force that protects their monopoly. To create a more dynamic environment in which we can swing back to more decentralized when a central hub becomes too powerful, we need to support communities and open protocols and resist the barriers, laws, and policies that prevent.
I can't help but compare to US elections, the higher the bar to vote and less registered voters, the more centralization Republicans can pull off. The only way Democrats can win is if voting and registration are easier and lots of people show up to vote, at least nationally.
