There is no story here, except “an unreliable website that some people use as a proxy to the blockchain is finally down, so ENS suggests using another service.”

There is no story here, except “an unreliable website that some people use as a proxy to the blockchain is finally down, so ENS suggests using another service.” Critics and Twitter mobs are trying to spin this into some kind of failure of ENS or Web3.
- p4bl0 4y agoThere is no story, yet here we are on one forum discussing this story in a 130 comments long thread while on the same forum the same story reported somewhere else is being discussed on that same forum with 50+ comments already, and this is far from being the only forum discussing the story that doesn't exist.
- woojoo666 4y agoIt's not a story for Eth and web3 communities because it isn't actually an issue. It's mostly a story for people who don't understand web3 and think it's an issue. In fact, really, it's a good thing for people to see how unreliable and rent-seeking web2 can be
- p4bl0 4y ago> how unreliable and rent-seeking web2 can be The whole point of "web3" stuff is systematically to make everything a tradable and scarce merchandise, so it seems a bit twisted to oppose it to what you call web2 based on this "rent-seeking" property. Concerning reliability, I think that we have more than enough cases of things going wrong to be able to strongly affirm that it cannot be considered a fair selling point for "web3" stuff.
