And to state the obvious: Warpcast has outsized influence today! We’re working to fix that through our work on making the protocol permissionless, trying to be helpful to other app developers and growing the quality user base. We’re not perfect, but we’re making progress each week.
Three critical elements essential to the long term success: 1. protocol itself is 100% permissionless later this year and a path to self-funding a core team separate from any one company 2. an ecosystem of independent apps and services funded by a variety of sources 3. quality daily active user growth
If last year told me a 100+ people would be involved in permissionlessly created groups furthering the Farcaster protocol, I wouldn’t have believed you. Success for a decentralized social network means no one node has outsized influence. It might be messy, but this is what the decentralizing process looks like.
No idea. It’s @erik’s pod and he just tried to wrangle the two of us to show up :)
Desktop and my network Should have been mobile only, focus on cryptonatives with fewer than 10K followers
Never satisfied. But decent year over year progress and quite optimistic about the near term protocol roadmap and ecosystem.
I’d imagine we’re going to see a SCOTUS case about it, so we will find out if it’s legal.
Not yet. If you have a use case for this we would consider building it.
Yes 320 characters Could have a preview and a link to the actual vote with reason on your site or agora?
Anyone excited about HTTP SEARCH? https://httptoolkit.com/blog/http-search-method/
Freedom to choose (or even build!) your own client. Can show you exactly what content from the protocol and nothing more. Healthy client diversity will make the Farcaster protocol succeed in the long run.
No. Client != protocol Protocol is censorship resistant. Just like the web. I said each client is free to implement their own acceptable use policies. But the underlying content is still available at the protocol. try @jam or @discove if you want a different POV
