“A protocol is only as good as the number of independent and thriving clients … on it” https://danromero.org/product-led-protocols.html There’s no third party thriving clients. Third party client devs’ requests and wishes (like decentralizating channels) have been deprioritized for months and thus they cannot permissionlessly innovate, nor compete meaningfully on many aspects. Have you changed your mind since writing this @dwr.eth, or is Farcaster no good?

1. Farcaster itself is default dead. Existential to get growth fixed. 2. Thriving means there are sustainable businesses of which there are none (you could argue that Supercast is more sustainable that Warpcast at this point since we don't have meaningful revenue relative to costs). 3. We've been public and transparent that channels are not working in the current form and it doesn't make sense to decentralize (i.e. ossify) an incomplete primitive. The reason Nook pivoted was lack of growth, not the ability to edit channel metadata. 4. Did you bring this up at the dev meeting yesterday? 5. I see all the subcasts, fwiw.

1. Growth is existential even for X and ethereum, so this is somewhat meaningless. We agree here tho, just not about the means to it 2. Alright so the protocol is no good atm? 3. I agree you’ve been public and transparent about that & that doing the work necessary to enable other clients to contribute to the protocol’s growth is not a priority to Warpcast. There are alternative solutions to this particular issue: an api, breaking changes to the protocol in the future, channels outside the protocol, spending time figuring out protocol channels. No solution is pursued, yet you have the resources. Many cases of devs pivoting away because they can’t provide great UX bc Warpcast isn’t prioritizing making it possible. No point building further when your app is treated as a second class citizen on the network by the dominant app. 4. I’ve brought this up before and I’m bringing it up now :) Not sure what my unavailability at 7pm yesterday (was having dinner with my grandma) has to do with this 👌
