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?

what's the point of making WC open source? if the assumption is that it would lead to another client gaining significant marketshare I'm sorry to say that the exact opposite would likely happen.

yeah I don't disagree, I would guess just not the top of the priority list

It’s not about cloning Warpcast to make another client (although I am sure that open sourcing WC would lead to TONS of shitty client 😂)

Having example code that is best-in-class solutions to problems one would face while writing for FC protocol is a huge unlock even if you aren’t trying to clone Warpcast.
