afaik p0 of ethereum's client diversity is supposed to mitigate the risk of a client bug causing a consensus failure clients in ethereum serve a very different purpose to clients in farcaster

kind of! mbd would be one of many feed providers. and ideally feed providers would be open source or provide some proof that the feed was fairly ordered

andrej karpathy says there have been 3 big iterations in how we build software 1. manual code 2. trained neural nets 3. instructing an LLM in natural language i love how he finds parallels that map so cleanly onto existing paradigms. highly recommend watching his recent talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCEmiRjPEtQ

we should stop talking about decentralization (broad, hard to measure) and start talking about effective decentralization (is the achieved decentralization serving its intended purpose) example: replicating network data over thousands of nodes – high decentralization, but the data is accessed predominantly through a single node – low effective decentralization

getting increasingly bearish on the idea of client diversity as a means of effective decentralization key assumptions: 1. communities are very likely to use the same client 2. you're unlikely to migrate clients if you get nerfed that client, your ability to move clients doesn't actually help the situation unless your audience on that client also moves with you potential half-solution: separate the feed building layer from the client layer? not a bulletproof solution because no guarantee that you won't just get filtered at the client level anyway next level: encrypted feed building?

Why would you willingly turn yourself into a bot? Automating replies like this adds nothing to the conversation and wastes everyone’s time Wish there was a way to mute all automated replies on X

maybe naive of me, but i don't think it actually matters whether the actors building on top of a protocol are aligned. protocols shouldn't depend on this type of benevolence in farcaster's case i think the most relevant question is whether MM is building the protocol in a way that is fair and doesn't unfairly privilege their client over others and doesn't abuse their position as the developers of the protocol
