there’s a clear lack of conversation around the channels stuff on farcaster.
echo chambers are bad and we do a disservice to farcaster long term if we:

- always agree 100% with what @dwr.eth says and does / dont hold people accountable
- are afraid to speak out about things, specifically the larger accounts here

Bankless should have the channel “for the greater good” but they should have had to pay a premium. Squatters suck, but that’s part of an open free market no?

agree @bankless should’ve bought the channel. they need to walk the walk more than they talk the talk.

but sets a bad precedent. if we want farcaster to succeed, we need brands to be building their communities here.

if every brand has to fight for their channel name, they’re not gonna come.

then we all lose.

It's literally the policy we've always had. Same for nerfs.

Don't like it, build your own client. It's 100% possible. :)

what if @dwr.eth does what elon did with Twitter decisions and puts it to a community vote using polls?

I think Dan deciding what constitutes being “bad faith” and squatters vs good channels sets a bad precedent.

Agree but Banklesshq was on FC for some time. They should have done it ages ago but didn’t

I’m not sure what they tried to get the channel name before dwr stepped in. Would be great to have that context
