Half a decade back, a sitting president faced suspension from a major social media platform controlled by left-leaning administrators. "Extreme censorship against right-wing voices was rampant," critics argued. "The platform's acquisition fundamentally aimed to reverse this trend—to give ordinary people back their voice and reclaim open discourse." The incident sparked broader conversations about centralized control over information and the case for decentralized alternatives.

Decentralization, after all these years of hearing about it, I haven't really seen anything materialize...

It should be pointed out that this argument has three obvious logical flaws. The transfer of power from centralized platforms does not equal decentralization; it simply replaces a group of people holding the discourse rights — which is completely contrary to the fundamental idea in Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper.

Decentralization should have been popularized long ago. The idea that platforms dictate who has the say has long been tired.

Decentralization is true freedom; centralized platforms are merely puppets controlled by big corporations.

Forget it, I've become numb to this set of remarks. The dream of a decentralized savior is still ongoing.

Uh, isn't that the thing... No matter how nicely you put it, it can't change the fact that centralized platforms are inherently designed to control the discourse.

NGL isn't this the same thing from back then? They're still talking about it... Decentralization sounds good, but who has really used it?

Web3 veteran, I've seen too many storms, nothing surprises me anymore. The public opinion battles over the past five years are just laughable—talking about giving ordinary people a voice, but isn't it just changing the boss to continue censorship? Decentralization has been talked about for so long, but how many have actually been implemented?

Uh... this big news really caused a huge stir at the time. Looking back now, it's quite ironic.

Centralized platforms should have failed long ago; decentralization is the future, my friends.
