Farcaster

Hey all - just wanted to share some of my concerns about the public nature of our casts/behavior on FC.

Hoping for an open dialogue on where we think this is headed, and in the long run, how to provide privacy protections from a user content perspective.

thanks for sharing, this is an interesting take.

I take the view that everything is public in a sense, even on proprietary platforms given data breaches or how they may sell my data to third parties.

With FarCaster being public by default, at least I don't have a false sense of security. I think awareness is key.

Thanks for reading, Liam

And I fully agree, personally. I have no illusion of privacy with what I post online. I'm more focused on the problems of a zero privacy protocol at scale

If FC stays a niche community, it never has to learn those lessons

If FC scales, I feel like it will eventually hit that wall full speed

Thanks, Semui.

I have a similar view on that, personally. I don't have any illusion of privacy online.

I was just writing a similar thought as well

For me, the concern is what happens with a (near) zero privacy protocol at scale if/when mainstream users adopt the network

Thanks for the additional context.

I think a useful example are those cases we see on Twitter where an account has an unexpected tweet that goes viral, and then they go into “protected” mode.

No protected mode on Farcaster 🙈

Mindset shift needed there.
