Why isn't Farcaster actually going after users who are silenced on social media? @dwr @v These users are NOT glamorous, typically societal vices, and you're wading into geopolitics. But if the goal of FC is to build a sufficiently decentralized network, why isn't there a concerted effort to reach those who need this most? Folks and similar apps they use: - Banned from trad social media apps (conspiracy theorists on official topics like healthcare, those advocating for hate/violence, etc - dark corners of reddit, 4chan, youtube) - Deboosted on trad social media apps (Rumble, Truth Social) - NSFW (Onlyfans) - Gambling (Kick) - Users in sanctioned countries (Iran, Syria, etc) or countries without freedom of speech; though this is more a 3rd party dev initiative, since the FC app likely can't take these users on IMO going after crypto traders is a crowded market, and every trading app is building a feed/commenting xp (see Clicker, Share, FOMO, etc)

yeah, i think it's a big bet. don't get me wrong, it has significant risks both for the company brand and the network, both of which likely wouldn't be into censored online creators but i think they need to bet on a 100x and put their war chest to use, like when spotify brought on joe rogan for $250 mil

I shared what I think is a good example with Dan earlier today. Uncensored.ai was banned and had all of their 100+ affiliates removed from Twitter last week. This is a sizeable network of content creators. (Albeit all of them in very controversial niches). Millions of collective followers though and they are building a tech platform, so the alignment seems strong. I would be doing outreach to them if I was Merkle. 🤷🏻‍♂️
