Recently, I’ve been learning more about this subject. Today I came across the Decentralization Scoring System and it slapped me across the face.

Takedown resistance is a natural consequence of decentralization, but it’s not decentralization itself.
Technical means to evade takedown like you’re describing also tend to add complexity which reduces usability, whereas language support reduces complexity for speakers of the supported languages.
I think this scoring system is a little haphazard, and should probably be divided into multiple separate, parallel scores. Takedown resistance needs its own score, based on ability to integrate with anonymization tools, ownership of codebase, accessibility and security of dependencies, etc.
