#opensourcewarpcast if it's not open source, how can it be decentralized at all?

Hubs are open source. Access to the protocol is the important thing for developers.

I know that, but as a user/dev i have conflicting feelings. Users can't just spin up their own frontend/backend and get it running, hubs !=== warpcast features, and users expect the warpcast feature-set out of a farcaster client (imho) but hey at least we get something, im just day dreaming here / shooting for the stars. some day.

Even if Warpcast was open source, getting all of our infra up and running is not easy. Warpcast frontend / UX only works because of a lot of sophisticated infra that's not set and forget.

Well that's the same case with any actual open source client you want to run today, like opencast, herocast, etc, so woudln't be that much of a deterrant. It's more about the ethos and code-availabilty. is there a future where the devs and community can propose and pass FIPs onto the protocol or will you guys always held the last word as heralds of it? Imagine ETH but vitalik always has last word on decisions. wouldn't make much sense.

None of the clients you the backend systems that Warpcast is running. We're open to anyone contributing something that is "rough consensus and running code". That requires a lot of work that most people aren't willing to do. btw, that's how Ethereum works, too https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/contributing/governance
