Tbh I’m so confused why the email example is used as an argument AGAINST federation The way I understand it email is arguably one of the most sufficiently decentralised parts of the internet today Sure most people use Gmail or outlook but it’s not even hard to use something else or even self host without any noticeable difference to anyone else (and plenty of people do!) If farcaster becomes anything like email it will be wildly successful at its goal of being sufficiently decentralised Worse developer experience is also debatable because I predict apps will index subsets of the network anyway as it grows too large to index in its entirety. Already saw this happening in some cases with power badge https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x0c0f2718

100% agreed. Email is one of the best examples of a federated protocol that allows both big and small servers to interop fluidly. The argument that it's hard to host your own server IMO is a bit moot. Goes for most protocols. Can you host your own? Yes. Should you? Depends/maybe not.
