@eapl.me@eapl.me yarnd is centralised if you run a large instance with a large number of users.The design of the software itself discourages an operator from doing this, the more users you have, the more resources the pod would consume. It was never designed for this.

yarnd is however strictly decentralised, with some distributed features that allow “peering pods” to talk to each other, often exchanging “missing Twts” among peers. This is useful to correct chains or fill in missing roots – Because the whole “network” is decentralised. This is one of the downsides of a decentralised system, so we had to figure out a “middle ground”.
