Some thoughts: - important to get grounded on the definition of sufficient decentralization. I read Varun’s blog post before joining and was satisfied with their definition of decentralization - other protocols might be more decentralized, and we’re all welcome to use them if we think they’re a better path or will lead to a better outcome - Dan and Varun have been very consistent with their words and actions. You might not like their definition of decentralization or their approach for achieving it, but they’ve been very transparent and consistent - easy to get upset at merkle but if you believe in their vision they aren’t the enemy. We should be fighting the corporate owned platforms, not each other. Too many people trying to compete with merkle to build a viable warpcast competitor as the only way to be satisfied we’ve achieved decentralization - won’t vs. cant be evil. No need to compete with merkle if we’re building a future that doesn’t lock us in to warpcast

I'd push back against "very consistent with their words and actions", in fact I'd say Dan and Varun have been listening to feedback and evolving their words/actions accordingly. This post is an example of that, even the added hedging of "But in practice, in the near-term, ..." is setting the stage of aspiring for more decentralization in the future. Some other practical examples of listening to criticisms and changing their actions: Iterations around the algorithmic timeline boosting smaller accounts, how new accounts get marked as spam, how channels behave, how the Creator Rewards is designed to adjust for follower count (vs how autofollow worked in the beginning). The same way Ethereum has evolved its roadmap in response to reality (PoS transition, rollup-centric roadmap, etc), to become more decentralized and more useful. I'm hopeful Farcaster will continue to do this, too.

Beautifully, and more than sufficiently, stated Adrienne. Too many”good fights” to be had to waste time fighting inwardly our friends!
