HN applauds this vibe-coded “privacy” site yet condemns decentralized messaging.

States control what’s centralized; incentives ensure they keep doing so.

Protesting it is like arguing with a thermostat—it can’t hear you, and it’s built to tighten control.

As technologists, we have a lot more power than we realise.

(Yes, I’m speaking to the blob, but the Venn overlap of anti-crypto and pro-this seems big.)

Genuely curious. What would the problem be if it was vibe-coded? It's an easy to read site that succeeds in communicating what it wants.

there's no problem with it being vibe-coded

The point is that the site, contacting your local MEP, and all the discussion in this thread, is pointless to affect some kind of durable societal change

Pointing out that it's vibe-coded just emphasises that all of the above actions are just low-effort cope
