ironically leaving farcon more bearish on farcaster. the protocol wants to compete and win at the client level. clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol. all roads lead to winner take all. what’s the point?

v interesting - unsolicited thoughts spurred by your cast: client diversity (beyond remaking twitter/reddit) is prolly the way to more +sum 'competition' not entirely sure what that looks like yet, but further raises my intuition that a fc client may be 'best' used for just porting networks into niche products

I get where you're coming from and I have similar feelings. I need to spend some time collecting my thoughts and I'll probably share them soon.

I’ve pushed back on many things re Farcaster protocol / client dynamics, but I don’t follow your argument. Does gmail want to avoid being dependent on SMTP? Even if thats given, why does it follow that its winner take all?

The part of this I’m trying to understand is the “clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol”. That makes sense in the web2 world, but IIRC FC protocol is open and far less risky to build on. Can you give more detail on this aspect?

I understand the protocol wanting to win at the client level early stage because they can maintain a bit of leadership and culture control to make sure things grow in the direction they see. "clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol." Can you say more about this?

the primary value of farcaster has always been the top-tier community. it's close to impossible for any alternative decentralized network to beat the engineering of a smart contract blockchain, which has network host economics integrated. but whatever happens to farcaster, it will have been a value-add.

This isn’t specific to just fc. It’s the same issue for every protocol.

damn my arguments didn’t hit in the morning the point is to try to create an ecosystem where is not a winner take all market even if it’s not the default now, we have a power to create something great here and i believe we have enough brain and willpower to make it happen either way, i respect a hot take 🤝

The true value is in the open data and APIs Clients are just scratching the surface of what is possible with such data available to the public for building All of that data, no paywalls to get it, no paper-pushing to facilitate interoperable experiences with it
