Farcaster

At the end of the day, someone at X (or any other centralized social media service) can sink your online presence with the click of a button, if they so choose. 

Why? Because they own the network.

Farcaster solves this.

Why did X have to take away my life?

5 years of organically building a community and business and they won’t even allow me to appeal. 

Makes me so sick. https://t.co/iZ2th8iFKo

Channels are not yet part of the protocol, nor are DMs; a function of the product still being young and the underlying engineering being far from trivial.

Sure, a single client can 'ban' you or otherwise choose not to index certain posts based upon their own params, etc., but so long as they are in-protocol, they'll always be there (your fc connections, posts, certain interactions, etc.). AKA you can just choose which client you like most and your Farcaster account is portable/interoperable in that way.

Compare that to any trad social.

Farcaster does not solves this. Dan can take away your channel if he wants. Remember what happened to bankless channel? Because I remember.
