Not being centralized has nothing to do with being trustless. The fediverse is also decentralized, yet you, me and everyone else has to log in to a specific server. If I try to login via lemmy.world, it'll fail. I have to login via programming.dev. Does that make lemmy and the fediverse trustless? No.

Even the top answer on that SO question explains that the use case of hash trees for git is different from that of blockchain

yeah, but this SO post has many up voted comments supporting my points as well.

183 votes for your "similar but not the same" and 103 votes for "they are the same". At the very least, I'd say this is far from settled fact

You're completely ignoring the point that being decentralized and/or implementing hash trees does not make a system trustless

[–] simplymath@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

no, no. I'm conceding that-- not ignoring that.
