The primary goal of Farcaster is to be a decentralized social network platform that gives users control over their data and digital identities. It aims to promote freedom of expression and user sovereignty, offering an alternative to traditional, centralized social networks controlled by large corporations. With Farcaster, users have the ability to own and manage their identities and content, connecting in a network where interactions are more authentic and transparent, without the interference of centralized algorithms or excessive moderation.
