Farcaster

I often see people Farcaster isn't "sufficiently decentralized".

You're free to define what "sufficiently decentralized" means to you, of course, but how we think about it is laid out in Varun's blog post.

Warpcast goes down for an hour, I go to @super and still have reach to my audience.

Facebook goes down?  Well, that means Instagram and Threads are probably down, so there goes any chance at all to contact anyone there until it's back up.

Warpcast decides to quit the game entirely?  As long as people are still running hubs, the network can continue through other clients.

Facebook or X poofs?  We lose contact with everyone we've known online for decades, along with every bit of the content we've put there.

I'd say Farcaster is quite sufficiently decentralized for my standards.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

Structurally, indeed.  In ethos?  I’m not sure. 

But if the goal is for the structure to be decentralized only,  then yes.

You should, however, be free to message whoever you want to message.  You should be able to reply to whoever.
