You could also run your own search server if you don't want to use that one.
But that is only part of discovery. Another is built into the protocol. I can navigate to `lbry://bitconnect`, to see what has been published at that url. There is no way to spoof this part since it happens at the protocol layer.
Also if your interested, https://spee.ch/bitconnect https://spee.ch/bitconnect. Spee.ch is a web wrapper for the lbry:// protocol. `spee.ch/url` will serve the same file as `lbry://url` (but is limited by different file types. There are more viewers in the app like a 3d file viewer.)
- Canada 8y agoCan I see lbry://@SomebodyUnpopular without talking to the centralized search? If so that's very good as that person couldn't be deplatformed. Anyway, great job offering working and usable software. Way better than 99.999% of blockchain projects which offer nothing but empty promises.
- seanyesmunt 8y agoYep. The lbry urls are handled by the protocol, there is no way for a company to block someone from accessing that channel. I could outbid that person so that the short url is directed to my channel, but that person will always have a url at lbry://@SomebodyUnpopular#xyz123...
