is it possible to build a farcaster hub that only maintains a subset of the network state? if so, is it possible to avoid having a distinction between “clients” and “hubs”?

prefigurative politics means building privacy, not just critiquing surveillance

i don’t agree, i think this is only true without an end-to-end conception of the protocol design that excludes the devices people actually use from consideration… thereby forcing users to rely on hubs and making censorship easier in the long run

sharding state affects availability of data by making sync harder and making it easier to censor people you don't like. 

we're actively designing hubs to ignore peers that don't relay the entire state of the network
