As a user with a Farcaster account, I'd rather see someone's Farcaster username in your app than their ENS.

I interact with people's Farcaster username, not their ENS.

The namespace more closely associated with online identity and my social graph will win.

summoning /daylight | kylemccollom.com | we are hiring: careers.daylight.xyz

I don't think we have to choose between the two paths?

@dwr.eth isn't the plan already that farcaster names will become accessible as an ENS subdomain via CCIP, similar to how status works/worked with *.stateofus.eth?

We're going to get namespace competition via L2s anyway, ENS just makes it interoperable.

The vitalik vs vitalik.eth thing is interesting, but it's also not a namespace issue: there's the possibility of eg. some unscrupulous L2 getting `optimism` on FC. The natural solution is for frontends like Warpcast to censor or put a big warning on impersonating accounts.

Ideally we've have community-managed lists for that sort of thing, similar to the list metamask maintains form scams.

No need for fancy governance: if a list itself becomes abusive (eg. someone's legit account gets declared a scammer because the list admins don't like their politics), the community can just fork.
