I think you might have misunderstood what people mean when they say that it's a decentralized platform...it's decentralized in the sense that if Steemit.com ever goes down, we can still access the same blockchain and see the same data through other sites like Busy.org, mspsteem.com, etc.

In that way, yes, it's decentralised.

The blockchain is decentralized, but the distribution of New Steem is not! ^^'
