Farcaster

Hey all - just wanted to share some of my concerns about the public nature of our casts/behavior on FC.

Hoping for an open dialogue on where we think this is headed, and in the long run, how to provide privacy protections from a user content perspective.

broadly speaking, there are two kinds of social networks - public (twitter, reddit) and private (facebook, snapchat) 

in a private network, encryption matters a lot because what you're saying should only be seen by trusted friends. 

in a public network, it doesn't matter because the intent is for *everyone* to see it

Twitter and Reddit seem to be moving in the direction of becoming more like private networks, so it's even more important to create a truly public network.

That being said, I think there's a need for things like e2e encryption in DMs on FC.
