i think your explanation needs to be seen by a lot of people here, maybe it’ll help breakdown what it is the devs are trying to say, because reading the cast that phil replied to annoyed me a bit (i wonder how the others would feel) because it’s not entitlement, no one is feeling entitled to anything but the fact that farcaster/warpcast is supposed to be decentralised or better yet is being projected as being decentralised and it still comes short of acting/working as projected is one of the main factor that’s annoying some of the devs on here (among other things)
Great points, appreciate you writing up this! Doesn’t feel like Merkle ever said that Warpcast is anything but a for-profit, closed-source client while the Farcaster protocol is completely open and permissionless I think we’re past the point of them needing to open source WC anyway given how much the builder community here has stepped up and created resources (Neynar, Pinata, Opencast, Herocast, Litecast, Nook, etc.) Now it just feels like a few devs who are coping and demanding that everything be OS which feels unreasonable to me, it’s really not that hard to build on Farcaster imo, the pieces are all there, up to builders to assemble them and create some valuable
