CoinVoice has recently learned that Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson stated on social media that whether or not a sorter is decentralized is not the most important factor; the key lies in the rules it follows and whether it will use its power to harm user interests or engage in value extraction. He pointed out that decentralized sorters can also be extractive, while centralized sorters can also be non-extractive.

For layer two networks, the long-term resistance to censorship and activity mainly comes from layer one networks. The attributes of the sorter (including resistance to censorship, transaction pool privacy, and sorting rules, etc.) are the most important considerations; "Decentralization" itself cannot fully define the nature of a sorter.
