FTFY.
Remember many on this site are partially responsible for the ad-ridden web and a proliferation of all sorts of spyware.
OTOH, we wouldn't skewer someone for charging for yet another toy SaaS and posting a Show HN, so... let's be a little more balanced.
- TylerE 3y agoI don't think it's unbalanced to call BS on a service claiming to be decentralized that in fact relies on a single centralized service they do not control, twice over. (Once for auth, second for content).
- dnpotter1 3y agoYeah, I guess it’s more accurate to call it an [almost] fully decentralised discovery service rn. Decentralised hosting should come later. The almost is for the oauth server, which can be improved by adding other independent trusted servers in a permissioned network.
- TylerE 3y agoTotally fair! Sorry if my initial response was perhaps a tad harsh... my bullshit-0-meter goes to a million for anything even vaguely crypto/blockchain related.
