Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are an example of a type of decentralized service. The basic idea is that instead of storing/accessing content from a single centralized server, the content is copied to many different devices within the network and can be accessed from multiple locations. Some examples of p2p networks are LBRY/Odysee (for videos. also, worth noting, you'll need to use the LBRY desktop app to gain the benefits from the p2p network), IPFS (interplanetary file system, for general file storage), and many other file sharing services such as torrents.

F-Droid

F-Droid is an interesting alternative for Android users who want to try something different and not have to use the Goole Play store all the time.

Free/Libre & Open Source Software (FLOSS) is a sort of decentralization with software licenses. By making software FLOSS, it allows anyone to copy or modify that software however they see fit. The good news is that you don't need to know how to program in order to benefit from that. As long as there's a community of people who are willing/able to do that and are anti-censorship, then you can still benefit from using FLOSS. If you use Android, I recommend getting F-Droid, which is an app store that has a lot of FLOSS apps, such as NewPipe.
