@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

Meh.
MM team is working hard to show engaging content to users and create retention.
If you are “shadow banned”, it most probably means you are not interesting for most Warpcast users they want to retain.

And that is their prerogative 

Until another client with different policies is able to compete with them farcaster can’t claim to be an improvement on legacy social on the censorship resistance point at least

With 90% of accounts created from Warpcast and having a recovery address controlled by a US based entity, Farcaster is definitely not censorship resistant by default.
But it can be for users who want to: Opencast or Herocast, recovery and custody wallets transfered to hardware wallets.
Censorship resistance is not a prerequisite for most people.

I would say this is sufficiently censorship resistant.
If Farcaster does reach even only 1m DAU I doubt any client will serve the entire content.
We could even see alternative content hubs raising.

And there is also no inherent problem with that. People just need to manage their expectations

Also alternative clients today don’t contribute to censorship resistance while warpcast controls the overwhelming majority of distribution
