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)

Sure there are some people who are wrongly banned but wouldn’t you also end up with a bunch of racists and neo-Nazis? They’re always free to join Farcaster or even build their own network on top of it but I don’t see any reason for Farcaster to go after user base. You can be sufficiently decentralized without actively courting banned users

I’m not saying merkle should court bad people But if you're just going after vanilla folks who won't get silenced, why does the network need sufficient decentralization? There's some segment of silenced users that the company finds morally ok. Also OK if they're saying that sufficient decentralization is not the value prop, it's decentralized wallet + social feed + apps (I say all this because I care and like Farcaster, just feel like the trading arc may not be the right one)
