ironically leaving farcon more bearish on farcaster.

the protocol wants to compete and win at the client level.

clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol.

all roads lead to winner take all.

what’s the point?

1/ How will Farcaster succeed if apps have to compete with Warpcast?

If there are enough daily active users of the protocol and the underlying data and APIs are actually permissionless, people will build new and interesting apps.

This has been the plan since the beginning (channels being a new thing along the way).

Wrote up my thoughts here. Thanks for the nudge.

say you're able to grow qDAU and successfully empower other clients (hypothetically).

another client (a non twitter clone) achieves escape velocity user growth, far exceeding any other on the protocol.

why wouldn't they fork farcaster? they could presumably achieve consensus of the new thing with enough scale.

For @phaverapp we do of course aim at escape velocity and have our standalone graph besides Lens and Farcaster but I see no upside in a fork as network effects are a net positive for us anyway. Only if Dan or Stani go evil then we have the insurance and that’s the real point of web3 graphs for me.

Sure, for us the interoperability of the network is the key value prop towards users and the more potential reach is always better than less. As long as protocols work I see no reason to fork, that would just take us back to ”Web2 on chain”

can u say more about the "network effects are a net positive"
