Cloud command and control is obviously a better user experience, and it is much more secure.

There is no way in which opening external control is more secure than local-only control.

What is this FUD?

I would say the list of ways that cloud relays are superior to local interfaces is pretty long. I don't want a router that will ever accept a connection of any kind, under any circumstances. I definitely do not want a router with a web app and authorization/authentication data that can be tampered with by drive-by attacks in my web browser.

For whatever it's worth, I associate the term FUD with crypto bros. Both of you simply stated an assertion at fact and then flipped out when someone deigned to defy that. Maybe argue your points properly?

FUD existed before them. So did the word crypto, as a matter of fact.

That's two things they ruined.

While we're at it, I think them claiming the term Web 3.0 is very self-aggrandizing.

Yup. But as a broad signal, is the person getting uppity about FUD usually making a valid point or safe to ignore?

It depends on whether you or not you like the cut of their jib.
