So you're pushing for DeFi and all things decentralized, but whining that the centralized service has enforced its power upon your content about decentralization there? Nice.

What do you mean but whining?

I'm not DeFi fan (not by a long shot), but complaining about the practices of centralised services seems exactly in line with what a pro-DeFi person would do. There's no hypocrisy here.

I assume the hypocrisy is that OP is still using these services
The OP states that it was a requirement of attending something they went to.
It seems to me that an actual advocate of decentralized services would have nothing to complain about, because there would be no way to censor them (cf "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it").

So given that in reality, everything of consequence in the "Decentralized Finance" world still relies on centralized services (YouTube hosts your videos, a lot of cryptocurrency actually held in exchanges, not wallets, etc), charges of hypocrisy may not be entirely without merit.
