How are they going to achieve censorship resistance and decentralization if they are building on a block chain?

Block chains require consensus at some level. And no one is going to come to consensus over controversial media.

Its kind of cool what Odyssey has achieved so far but I can't take them seriously when they talk about decentralization and blockchains in the same sentence.

Also what about the ethical question of all their existing token holders? Are they just going to shutdown the token?

These are good questions. I’d like to see a lot more explained about it, and I plan to look the blockchain tech up after work and see if there’s any public materials.

I’m also wondering about the investment required to become an alternative provider for something like this. It’s not decentralized if only a few big companies can afford to host.

it's arweave AO (Actor Oriented) - latest in the endless series of arweave permaweb since 6 years now

i don't see how any of it will make money, and you should see the specs on the servers they have to use for these things... 256Gb memory, 16 terabyte disks, 10tbit network, they cost like $5000/month to run

it all just looks like VC's burning fiat to me

Yeah. That sounds super decentralized 🙄

The corporate version of decentralization is “you can switch between our various subsidiaries,” not freedom.

well, i'm getting paid to build things for this arweave thing

only part time basis actually, and the rest of my time i am building for nostr, hopefully i'll release something genuinely useful and maybe get funded by actual nostr/bitcoin people later, in the meantime i'm swimming in the nostr
