Farcaster

At the end of the day, someone at X (or any other centralized social media service) can sink your online presence with the click of a button, if they so choose. 

Why? Because they own the network.

Farcaster solves this.

Why did X have to take away my life?

5 years of organically building a community and business and they won’t even allow me to appeal. 

Makes me so sick. https://t.co/iZ2th8iFKo

Channels are not yet part of the protocol, nor are DMs; a function of the product still being young and the underlying engineering being far from trivial.

Sure, a single client can 'ban' you or otherwise choose not to index certain posts based upon their own params, etc., but so long as they are in-protocol, they'll always be there (your fc connections, posts, certain interactions, etc.). AKA you can just choose which client you like most and your Farcaster account is portable/interoperable in that way.

Compare that to any trad social.

If you want a decentralized platform, stop making excuses or defending one man rule. Admit mistakes, criticize wrongdoing, and work on fixing them
