Hello, how can one self-host stacker news and help to decentralize it? It seems to be running in a centralized way on a AWS at the moment, is it correct?

Yes that’s correct. You can run an independent SN clone, but I don’t think that’s what you’re hoping to do.
If you want SN to decentralize the best thing you can do is help us figure out how to make territories profitable (I call that milestone net-energy), because before that happens there’s not much point in decentralizing imo (large, consistent, charitable commitments of finances and time aren’t that decentralized … although I can relate to wanting them to be).

I have heard @ek talk about this too. I know it's amorphous right now, but do you have any half baked ideas of a roadmap? Assuming territories can be profitable (a big if), do you envision owners self hosting territories? If so, will a connection to SN generally and other territories be maintained, and how will revenue splits work, etc?

The best half baked explanation for our half baked roadmap: think of territories like nostr relays and crossposting is posting to several of them. Subterritories implicitly "crosspost" to their parent territories. Each territory has its own reward pool.
The goal would be that territory founders could optionally self-host if they are concerned about censorship, otherwise they wouldn't need to.

I see. Sounds good. Territories would have more autonomy, and SN would still get fee cuts?

For territories that are self-hosted, they likely wouldn't pay territory fees but they would need to participate in other fee splits.
