Gregory's Server@mav @risottobias @EposVox to be fair this is an argument people building have all the time. Where is this project at in a x, y, graph of decentralized/distributed vs centrally usable. It never ends. There are endless vectors to explore in this topic.
@Torfinn @mav @EposVox web3 is anything that attempts to use coins and hype itself (ipfs is halfway there with ipns) - kinda like fediverse is activitypub
Self hosted things like syncthing or tor or ssb just say "this is my public key, this is my router, say hello"
So: radicle is a distributed git server, that uses both ssb (as a transport protocol, which is fine) and ethereum (well, "rad") as a governance token - so yes it's a wasteful blockchain
