Today's AMA - ask me anything you want to know about how Farcaster Hubs work!

Quite a few questions about "is my data encrypted? or "are hubs private""

Casts, like, follows are not encrypted and likely won't ever be. This is a public social network and the expectation is that this data is open to everyone. 

Direct messages are also not encrypted but they will be in the future. This is a private message between people or groups of people and the expectation is that the data is not open.

So for now, there’s access of a third party?

Every non Warpcast client is a third party if you think of traditional social media.

Farcaster is like a blockchain network in that all the data resides on Hubs aka Nodes, so anyone running a Node (anyone can run the software) can have it

Only direct messages and some client only features are not on Hubs
