if you're decentralized then you're not centralized
If you're not using the repository records as the canonical storage then you're off protocol.
It's not inherently "bad" to be off protocol. There's always some judgment involved, especially when we don't have private records yet.
But a good rule of thumb is, you know, be on protocol

Nothing is stopping atproto from adopting ssb-style content addressable storage and signed messages. If Patchwork was crippled, atproto was designed to be handicapped. (caught the ssb joke tho)
"Pure clients" are always somewhat crippled with technical capabilities, and without server endpoints designed for their needs, they'll make a patchwork of solutions that don't perform well.

I was digging around in the ssb-server code from a decade ago and I accidentally dug up some screenshots of the original "Phoenix Network" client for secure-scuttlebot.

Yes, and the solution here is to put some responsibility on the user for the content that they are viewing. Web2 companies are publishers putting volunteered content in front of eyeballs. Web3 companies are distancing themselves from the content by having the users host the content.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
