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)

clarifications - not saying FC should court bad people, but i wonder if sufficient decentralization is the right value prop for the product/company: farcaster.xyz/pl/0xc7d007db also that this entails a lot of risk, but they have the war chest to do it: https://farcaster.xyz/pl/0x5f3faa77

i reach out to users esp builders i see deboosted on twitter/x but don't think this should be the ultimate strategy, not enough to sustain growth and starts also becoming a pretty fragmented user group focused more on going after crypto community right now. especially since starting with the social graph first and then trading (vs other way around) is a genuine edge imo

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
