It's a bit of a stretch to call this "decentralised" when it still relies on software running on a "master" server (your bot.)

Second, if it is indeed fully anonymous, won't it just become a haven for trolls?

Even though many playlist servers run on the frizbee.co server, some are community-owned.

Feel free to host a decentralized server here: https://github.com/Frizbeeco/Frizbee/blob/master/documentati...

You can also block users for spam.

Okay right, but it's not _decentralised_ -- if it was, I would be able to run a completely stand-alone server, or join an arbitrary network of servers completely unrelated to yours just by punching in the IP address of another member server.

If I _must_ have anything to do with you, it's not decentralised. Distributed, maybe. But _not_ decentralised.

What about using bitcoin as a voting mechanism? That would get rid of trolls, or at least the poor ones.
