One of the motivations for the post is to drive more liquidity to these amazing options, and help to create a snowball effect.

As for centralization - while the drive for decentralization is great, it's *not* necessary for everything. As long as the platform doesn't custody funds or enforce KYC it's not too important. Mainly just need at least one decentralized option (i.e. Bisq) as a just-in-case for if governments go after these centralized P2P exchanges.

I guess operating a P2P platform like Robosats is similar to operating a coinjoin one in terms of government coming after the central party.

Maybe in the future it will be possible to spin up alternative Robosats similar to the way Whirlpool are planning with coordinators.

It's FOSS, so as far as I know it could definitely be done.

Usually there is no legal grounds for shutdown due to Robosats not actually ever holding funds.

Would take a huge legal shift for these type of exchanges to come under legal pressure, thankfully!

GitHub censorship is always a potential hurdle, but Robosats has hopefully reached escape velocity and could continue via GitLab or a new NOSTR-based alternative.
