Can I see lbry://@SomebodyUnpopular without talking to the centralized search? If so that's very good as that person couldn't be deplatformed.

Anyway, great job offering working and usable software. Way better than 99.999% of blockchain projects which offer nothing but empty promises.

Yep. The lbry urls are handled by the protocol, there is no way for a company to block someone from accessing that channel.

I could outbid that person so that the short url is directed to my channel, but that person will always have a url at lbry://@SomebodyUnpopular#xyz123...
