A team consisting of four people. Is this really a problem? It's probably just a bunch of friends that decided to try an idea. Seriously, what are they supposed to do to resolve it? Fire two partners and hire two women just to make an equality quota? Hire four new women just on the merit of being women?

Why is it even worth pointing out there team has no women? The original "call out" tweet was very snarky. There are 9 staff, not including a few advisors. So its probably the case that they all knew each other before the comapny existed. If there were no women in their lab, theres not much they can do about that. What would the correct response be? "Sorry we didn't know any women when we started, we shouldnt have don…
The responses are the damaging aspect here. "Our salaries are low" and "we don't have any EAs" are just painfully bad ways to respond.
Small tip: you can add a dark background to the header through CSS for those who don't have the image in cache. Right now, while loading it's white text over white background.

I'm still going through the docs and all so this probably has been answered before : How do you deal with takedown and dcma requests? I know ipfs for example has a blacklist for dcma requests. I'm trying to understand what keeps someone from copying a video and sharing it for less or uploading a movie or TV series.
This does not remove the blockchain entry, since this is impossible, but it would be irresponsible and illegal in most countries to continue to host content on this list.

I agree with your general sentiment, but their response does sound a bit weird. It would have been fine with me if they had said "oh it's just by chance, plus most of us knew eachother from before we started". Saying "we have no female roles" and "oh we get paid less so we're all women" (wtf?) isn't handling the situation well.
Lesson learned. Subsequent attempts to engage sincerely were also met with derision, so I'm not sure anything could have ever been done that wouldn't have been met similarly.

Isn't that addressed by this FAQ entry? > Rest assured, we’re implementing permanent URLs that are always yours. https://lbry.io/faq/no-auction-options
Yes, but they will just be randomly generated strings, that doesn't really sound appealing. Also they don't exist yet.

Where #a can actually be that short.
If you want a name with no identifiers or filters at all, the voting system will continue to be used.
