brian is live on unlonely
@briang
there’s a clear lack of conversation around the channels stuff on farcaster. echo chambers are bad and we do a disservice to farcaster long term if we: - always agree 100% with what @dwr.eth says and does / dont hold people accountable - are afraid to speak out about things, specifically the larger accounts here

Nobody is afraid of Dan's retribution lol it's just a nothingburger - 1 of ? 3 relevant things: 1. No squatting fnames + channels has been Dan's position from Day 1 and he's never wavered in the messaging 2. Channels aren't in the protocol yet and that's also v clear 3. Context matters and this is the context lol

On point 1 - It's very clear in the docs that fnames are Farcaster controlled and explains later conditions for taking it back If someone's upset by that, then they can always use .eth ENS names - feels like a pretty reasonable compromise to me. https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/architecture/ens-names

on point 2 - also very clearly in the docs and explains squatting positions lower down in the page too Not sure what else Dan could do to make this more obvious without getting pretty paternal with it. https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/what-is-farcaster/channels

On point 3 about context (imo the most important one)... Flippers of names, assets, NFTs, or w/e else always point out that Web3 is PVP with buy/sell/trades. If you willingly RENT access to a CENTRALIZED service in the hopes of selling it later bc you didn't read the docs that's entirely an self-inflicted injury lol

Fwiw idgaf about Bankless and I don't think they give a fuck about farcaster either since they only started posted here consistently when it was obviously better for distribution and tbh i also don't think Dan gives a fuck about Bankless either, it's just obviously a huge brand in web3 and he needs them using FC

i can't believe i had to write a thread on this on a Friday night, but somebody other than Dan has to say calmly using data lol Anyway nobody who's building in good faith on Farcaster is concerned about the channel squatter thing
