Farcaster

If you're making a Farcaster client, please add the option for users to set the hub address they want.

You mean what's the benefit of decentralization, or how this helps decentralization?

Just in general what is the benefit of a user setting a hub address? I’m under informed here so a link can do as well

Think of farcaster hubs as Ethereum nodes (but much much easier and less demanding to run). Being able to use your own enforces decentralization, censorship resistance and network resilience.

Thanks! So original tweet can mean let  a user run their own hub or hub of choice when utilizing a client

If I need hub + replicator to cast without any external dependancies, it's a first step I'm willing to take :-) Not ideal, but it's ok for start.

issue is most clients depend on the replicator indexed tables, not the hub apis directly

this can be fixed if teleport is able to remove the need for replicator and use a SQLite db for persistent storage, and have custom APIs on top of hubble-compatible ones
