When you don't need strict global consensus, stateless infra is significantly more efficient, more decentralized and plain superior to blockchains

Excited to read / learn more about "stateless" infra

From my understanding (which may be wrong) Farcaster Hubs come to a loose consensus on the current state of the social network. Because it's loose and not strict it's considered stateless?

Yeah, basically. I understand that "state" has a broader meaning, which is why I'm unsure about using the word "stateless". The key difference is there can be multiple variations of Farcaster Hubs that eventually converge, while in blockchains there must be a strict state transition everyone agrees to in real time

seems analogous with the eventual consistency vs. strong consistency dichotomy in the OG distributed systems world
