Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

I'd like to see communities selectively allow for some content to be public, but make the default private.

Operator turned investor. Work in TradFi. Exploring the future of social investing @crossroads.  🟪

Hard to make that work in a permissionless way without a centralized server. I suspect there will be permissioned off-protocol experiences that use Farcaster for identity, graph, etc.

Yes, focus in the near-term for the protocol is about public and real-time distribution and global state. Longer term could see more private primitives.

Fair. Let the protocol be the firehose of all information, and let the nodes decide what to filter and make available, and in what way (public/private). That encapsulate the thinking?

There's a lot of public groups conversation about various topics / groups that are fragmented and have poor mobile UX.

Private group conversations are competing with the world's best mobile apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.

is this a vitamin or a painkiller? 

(playing devil's advocate here, i don't think there's a huge painpoint rn on "subcommunities" of public content.)
