@vgr: Farcaster didn't test if people want decentralization

Vitalik Buterin's critic, @vgr, argues that the claim "most people don't care about decentralization" is unsupported, and that Farcaster did not test whether people want decentralization. He says people adopt decentralized options like private messaging, Mastodon and Bluesky when they are meaningfully available and within their capabilities. He writes that Farcaster instead tested whether a subset of technically sophisticated users would run decentralized infrastructure under some incentive schemes, which he calls a narrow question about one company's business model.
