They speak against centralization then right in their whitepaper they have:

> Lunyr may make changes to the size of the LUN pool, LUN distribution and other related matters that it believes, in its reasonable judgment, are beneficial to the LUN platform growth and development, or it considers reasonable under the circumstances. Keep in mind that any corrupt behavior would be irrational for Lunyr to do. Lunyr will be holding onto LUN and any decisions that dilute the value of LUN and devalue the knowledge base would be harmful to Lunyr.

So they say that you shouldn't use the centralized solution, but it's okay for Lunyr to maintain control because it's in it's economic interests.

Okay.

Not to mention they include ads, this just sounds like a worse version of wikipedia.
