One thing I like about the Bluesky architecture that I would love to see Farcaster adopt is the concept of a PDS (Personal Data Server). This way every post I make is stored in a server I control with my keys (but not necessarily host). It would help move us toward this idea of Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29115696

Farcaster had a very similar design before we introduced Hubs. The problem is that if you want to get the latest state of the network, someone needs to coordinate retrieving the latest updates from many different individual servers (which fail, go offline, slow down, etc.) Bluesky uses a central "relay" that watches all the PDS servers for updates and converts them to a single stream. Theoretically anyone can run a relay but in practice it's very expensive. So it's a different trade-off. We want everyone to have access to global state without a relay. IMO the design of FC pushes the tendency to centralize further out to the edges, into client like Warpcast instead of infra like the relay.

That was the original architecture for Farcaster. We decided to move to global state similar to Ethereum.
