This is a bad idea to take on right now. Would shelf this entire idea in favor of other priorities. Full stop. But wait thereās more. Who is āFarcasterā that is operating the server? gc & smh all at the same time. Protocols are rules not organizations. Conflating these leads one to think like a business instead of a headless public good. More gatekeepingā½ really Keep it as wc direct and group casts. Open that if you want but keep it out of Farcaster protocol if itās not on a node, permissionless & independently verifiable. An idea- Work on creating more flexible app specific context-containers that are ai ready.

Gatekeeping is maximal because if you didn't check there's a whitelist like we are used to, so it's much worse than a centralized server, as per usual devs will need to request permission from the team not even in an automated way. I mean I am just astonished by the lack of foresight, imagine if you want to get permission to read/send DMs on Twitter, Threads, etc is easier. You can literally make an app in 5 minutes that has those permissions, how blind you must be to understand that writing such poor proposals is a complete disaster from an optics perspective.
