I was listening to an interview with the Farcaster creator and he is there talking for half an hour about asymmetric cryptography and keypairs and signatures and how Farcaster apps interact with the rest of the network and all that. The interviewer seemed to be enjoying everything.

Dan Romero went on enthusiastically speaking about how Twitter and other platforms can cancel anyone and cause creators who invested their lives in building an audience to lose everything and how bad that was. He ended claiming, triumphantly, that on Farcaster that wasn't possible!

At this point the interviewer asked: "Why not? Because creators have access to subscribers email addresses?"

Most people just don't get it. It's just so completely different from anything that's ever been used in a social setting.

So, is Farcaster something like an Ethereum version of Nostr? Interesting.

Well, there are some similarities, but not enough to say that.

Sounds entertaining, link to the interview?

I can't find it.

Some days ago I made a post asking for podcast recommendations. This was one of the latest episodes in one of the recommendations I've received.

I've listened to it in my browser, but apparently browsers are completely useless and we can't reliably search their history.

If you think you are so smart why don’t you create your own decentralised social media protocol?
