A sufficiently decentralized social network. farcaster.xyz

What makes decentralized social like @farcaster and Lens different from what Mastodon has been trying to achieve for many years now? (excluding web2 v/s web3 comparison) 🤔

Farcasting far and wide. Researcher and learner. (A real person)

Mastodon does not have a unified identity — usernames are fully @user@mastodon.server. Farcaster has a notion of fids and fnames, which do not get bound to (or controlled by) node operators. This offers greater portability if a node operator decides to engage in censorship.
