I often see people Farcaster isn't "sufficiently decentralized".

You're free to define what "sufficiently decentralized" means to you, of course, but how we think about it is laid out in Varun's blog post.

if it's not open source, how can it be decentralized at all?

i've been critical of FC in the past calling it an "open social platform" instead of a "protocol". it was pointed out to me by varun that even if the company folds tomorrow, ppl can still create an account, post a message, and read a message. echoing what dwr is saying above. but i also posed the question, if that's all that's needed, then why does the company exist. i didn't get an answer. 🤷‍♂️
