My friend (a high school teacher) asked me what's different about Farcaster vs. Twitter.

I told her that she owns her data - as in when she deletes it, it's gone. In the case of Twitter, we don't really know if the data is gone. 

How would you explain Farcaster vs. Twitter to someone outside of web3?

Uhhh. Is this true? 

I don't have an expectation that my data is private on Farcaster. The opposite, in fact. 

It's indexed in a bunch of places, including on Hubs, @neynar, and private apps like Searchcaster. 

Farcaster has a bunch of advantages over Twitter's model, but privacy isn't one that I normally espouse.

To be honest I definitely dumbed it down for my friend, theoretically you should have control over all your data.

But you’re correct, our data is indexed in a bunch of other places out of our control
