Iβm a big fan of Nostr as a truly decentralized social network, but Farcaster is also making solid progress toward decentralization, and overall itβs way more appealing than Nostr.
Decentralization is not only where messages and identity are stored, but also the number of clients you can use and generally ecosystem availability
Why is there no alternative client to Warpcast? Nostr, AT Protocol, each protocol has tons of clients.. but I've never seen a usable Farcaster client other than Warpcast
What I mean by this is that you can have a great decentralized infrastructure, but if the protocol is hidden behind a centralized entity, and you don't have a credible exit somewhere else, then it's pretty useless
I don't understand who would be interested in running snapchain nodes except Merkle Company
