@artlu's story is a stark reminder that without meaningful client diversity there is nothing inherently different about farcaster compared to web2 social from a censorship resistance perspective

Hmm fair point. But how can FC distinguish itself more clearly from traditional Web2 social platforms?

I bought $BTC @ $70k

it's already sufficiently distinguished via channels, warps, dev legos, etc

but not from a client diversity and hence censorship resistance perspective

Got your point. Agreed that enhancing client diversity is crucial for true censorship resistance. But whatb can be an "initiatives" or steps do you think would be most effective in fostering a diverse client ecosystem on Farcaster.

Well, it seems decentralizing key components will definitely be important for enabling alternative clients to compete effectively. Ahh am just glad i am here 🤷‍♂️

it's tough because you really don't want to compete with warpcast as a business right now seeing as they basically make the rules for the game you would be playing

there are a few moats that warpcast will need to decentralize before alt clients with significant resources can actually compete. those include DCs and sign in with warpcast
