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 writing this up.

The Farcaster protocol is focused on real-time, public information. Don't use it if you are worried about information being public.

Anyone is free to use the graph to build a privacy-focused social network. So nothing stopping someone from building something that focuses on your goals.

Unsure of what the sign-up flow looks like today, so maybe this feedback has already been addressed.

Could make it more obvious to users when they’re signing up with friendly and clear messaging so they know what they’re opting into.

I think it would be especially helpful as non-crypto natives are onboarded.

It’s the same on all next gen social.

They are designed as fully open content systems. 

Various systems choose to put road bumps at various layers … but assume all open social has all of its content copied and archived directly from the firehose low level APIs.
