ironically leaving farcon more bearish on farcaster.

the protocol wants to compete and win at the client level.

clients want to win and avoid being dependent on the protocol.

all roads lead to winner take all.

what’s the point?

1/ How will Farcaster succeed if apps have to compete with Warpcast?

If there are enough daily active users of the protocol and the underlying data and APIs are actually permissionless, people will build new and interesting apps.

This has been the plan since the beginning (channels being a new thing along the way).

Wrote up my thoughts here. Thanks for the nudge.

say you're able to grow qDAU and successfully empower other clients (hypothetically).

another client (a non twitter clone) achieves escape velocity user growth, far exceeding any other on the protocol.

why wouldn't they fork farcaster? they could presumably achieve consensus of the new thing with enough scale.

What does the successful client gain by forking the protocol?

emancipation, agency, freedom to become the masters of their own destiny

Noble aims - but what about on a technical level? I suppose they get the social graph up to that point, but once they fork it, will they get any more of the social graph changes? I suppose they could keep syncing the changes from farcaster into their graph, but not sync their changes back to farcaster.
