I often see people Farcaster isn't "sufficiently decentralized".

You're free to define what "sufficiently decentralized" means to you, of course, but how we think about it is laid out in Varun's blog post.

if it's not open source, how can it be decentralized at all?

Hubs are open source. Access to the protocol is the important thing for developers.

I know that, but as a user/dev i have conflicting feelings.

Users can't just spin up their own frontend/backend and get it running, hubs !=== warpcast features, and users expect the warpcast feature-set out of a farcaster client (imho)

but hey at least we get something, im just day dreaming here / shooting for the stars.

some day.

Even if Warpcast was open source, getting all of our infra up and running is not easy.

Warpcast frontend / UX only works because of a lot of sophisticated infra that's not set and forget.

i could 10x your infra and operate it in my sleep, this is a cop out, open it all

earnestly, how do you justify interacting with devoted community members like this? we are all here, staying here, making suggestions because we care about this community you've built, despite you spitting in our faces regularly because you don't like what we serve or how we serve it. introspect, my guy.
