> I know that many HNers generally hate Blockchain and smart contracts and decentralized technologies

Whoa, slow down. There's definitely a lot of skepticism about blockchain and smart contracts around here, but that skepticism does not generalize to decentralization as a whole. Self-hosters are strongly represented on here, as are proponents of federated tech and P2P.

There's specifically a lot of skepticism about blockchain and web3 on HN, and I'm really curious to know how you think those specific decentralized technologies are going to make a difference in the search space.
