If it’s blockchain it’s not decentralized.

  Exactly; IIRC that was Moxie's main point in the original article, that because you're still relying on third party servers to interact with the blockchain, "web3" is still centralized but with extra steps.

    Grandfather comment replied in a minute, likely without reading the article. It addresses all that.

    What 'exactly'? Mina [0][1] is a 'blockchain' that doesn't rely on a third party server and is small enough to run on a phone and on smaller devices; making it extremely decentralized to run a node on almost anything and anywhere. Like many nonsensical comments like the grandparent one who immediately posted an unfounded and sweeping generalization, one must recognise that not all blockchains are all the same and some operate better or are more decentralized than others.
