Should we rebrand Warpcast to Farcaster?

We separated Warpcast (the app) from Farcaster (the protocol) a few years ago. 

We've heard from many new users that this is very, very confusing. People hear about Farcaster, search in the app store, can't find anything called Farcaster and then churn.

Ok crazy idea but hear me out: Make Farcaster compatible with atproto, become the first full alternate AppView to BlueSky with sovereign identity on ENS and built in payments and mini apps.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

I self-hosted a Mastodon server just for myself almost 2 years ago. It is clunky, and almost everyone you talk with is some degree of insane zealot. People aside, I don't think Federation is the right social media solution.

If Farcaster could communicate with ATProto w/o compromising their structure, I'd be for that.

Yea, IMO Mastodon is a dead end outside of organizational structures. Might make sense for news orgs to host a mastodon instance but it doesn't make sense for individuals to join random instances, inevitable rugging.
