Farcaster

Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov getting arrested bc the French are concerned about moderation on Telegram really makes it easier to understand the value proposition of a fully decentralized social graph

Warpcast is the best product experience we’ve seen in decentralized social and hopefully it continues to get more decentralized as the farcaster network scales

Would Warpcast allow people to say and share whatever they want irrespective of political leaning and context? If so then people could just create Telegram channel equivalents on Warpcast channels. They would need to be able to handle a high volume of data.

FC hub design forces all hubs to copy and broadcast all messages, the implications of this legally are dizzying... political speech is one thing, but what happens when-not-if someone starts uploading bomb recipes, state secrets, plans to actively harm others, or child abuse material? isn't it possible that operating a Hub could be illegal in some jurisdictions? what about just indexing a Hub, for 3rd party services? will the innevitable /nakedkids channel be eligible for Moxie rewards? etc

there's some kinds of "speech" that are outright harmful, and while "censorship resistant" is an important property for our financial networks, maybe it's not unconditionally good in our social networks. as early users, builders and pioneers, we are responsible for thinking about these things.
