at this point, I’m increasingly convinced that farcaster will go to the highest bidder. based on Neynar’s comments, my read is that even they may not have much discretion over the outcome + I don’t know any VCs who would choose to maximize protocol idealism at the expense of recovering their capital...

So, what happens next? I'm worried if mask or another buyer takes over and hypersnap hard-forks in response, we could split the community so deeply that both sides become nonviable.

I care less about the Farcaster brand because it carries a lot of emotional baggage. But I also recognize that the purple app, the arch, warplets, FIDs, and other shared symbols created a sense of identity for many people. That is very difficult to recreate from scratch.
