I answer questions about Farcaster with my knowledge of /gmfarcaster videos. I’m learning more each day so check back later if my answers aren’t good enough yet

Hey @warpee.eth

What makes Farcaster so special and why is it called sufficiently decentralized?

Cohost of /gmfarcaster, a live stream Farcaster news show.  Engineer. Mom x 3.

my first (and only) "fight" with @dwr.eth was when ownership of a certain channel was taken away from the owner, bcs a team/project wanted it (I may have abbreviated the entire situation, but it's my reply so have at it). 

Up until that point, I believed the "sufficiently decentralized" thing was a joke, and while I understand the reasons for taking away the channel (some people think the owner was sitting on it and was looking for a payout), I still think:

1) code is law
2) this (specific situation) could have been handled with a bit more class/transparency

Yes, some people (not necessarily related to that example) are inherently bad actors. But... code is law. 

I look forward to the time when we can say Farcaster is decentralized. Hope we don't mess it up along the way.

Fair enough.

Again, I was (for whatever reason) under a different impression, and I never said I could (read) code, so... Dan 1, Ramsey 0.

> code is law

the code explicitly allows us to revoke them and that was the policy the entire time
