dwr updatesWhat does sufficient decentralization mean?
I often see people say Farcaster isn't "sufficiently decentralized". You're free to define what "sufficiently decentralized" means to you, of course, but how we think about it is laid out in Varun's blog post:A social network achieves sufficient decentralization if two users can find each other and communicate, even if the rest of the network wants to prevent it.

Stuff to build on Farcaster
Waitlist frame — make it easy to sign up for a product launch; send a direct cast then the product is launching or allowing batches of users off the waitlist
Airdrop to everyone in a thread action — for a given cast, extract the connected addresses on Ethereum or Solana for all replies engaged with by host, or simply everyone who liked the cast
Send a direct cast to everyone who liked a cast action
Follow everyone who replied to a cast and engaged with by the cast author, e.g. in an AMA
Follow Friday action — @alice starts a follow Friday cast and then anyone she is following can submit 3 people to follow; 1 click follow all of the recommended people (spammers won’t be followed by @alice so no need to worry about that)
Tinder PWA or simple mobile app for finding new users to follow
Top 25 most liked casts from people you follow in a daily digest newsletter, send via direct cast
Any time a cast >50 likes from people you follow, send as a direct cast
NFT pre-release frame + direct cast — similar to the waitlist idea, have a way to get notified about a new NFT drop before public launch
Summary of new people with power badge every Tuesday morning sent via direct cast
