His argument here is that web3, as it exists today, isn't actually decentralized. Also:

> These technologies immediately tended towards centralization through platforms in order for them to be realized, that this has ~zero negatively felt effect on the velocity of the ecosystem, and that most participants don’t even know or care it’s happening. This might suggest that decentralization itself is not actually of immediate practical or pressing importance to the majority of people downstream, that the only amount of decentralization people want is the minimum amount required for something to exist, and that if not very consciously accounted for, these forces will push us further from rather than closer to the ideal outcome as the days become less early.

Per the post, he's in favor of decentralization that "uses cryptography (rather than infrastructure) to distribute trust," he's just skeptical that web3 will head in this direction.

No, the issue is that he is against a decentralization generally.

He opposes it for Signal.
