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

This is a super hard question. I can see the appeal of wanting to just unify the names so that it is easy for users to digest and share etc. but I think calling both the app and protocol Farcaster means you are sacrificing *at least the appearance* of credible neutrality. Now 99% of users don’t care about that but the builders want to know that they won’t get rugged 5-10 years down the road.  And the builders are the ones who bring users. By keeping the names separate you help foster a level playing field where other clients can grow.
