Opportunities for developers building on channels

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

What happens to a channel if the moderation tool you used for months or years decides to completely shut down?

I'd suggest getting a dedicated channel bot (if one of the tools will allow for that).

Can always run a script or another account that mirrors all the likes and then you could switch over.

I can't seem to shake off this framing: 

An open protocol doesn't easily allow for restricting access, as by default, everyone can read every cast on Farcaster. If you truly want to own and control your community on a decentralized protocol, building your own client seems to be the best approach.

I think channel owners should be in full control of all feeds associated with the channels they own/operate, not just the main feed.

Communities that want to restrict access will need to build their own clients that encrypt casts at the protocol level, this is the only way to truly own the data/community.

You're 100% in control of your main feed. 

1. You can manually curate (probably not efficient with spam)
2. Build your own tool
3. Use another tool
4. Possibly mix and match

Might take some time for the market to come up with solutions.
