Are We Sufficiently Decentralized Yet?: GM Farcaster ep315 Monday November 26, 2025

TLDR: Farcaster kicks off December with client diversity chatter and decentralization checkpoints from V’s big post 📡Neynar’s TLDR rescues everyone from reading a novel-length thread 📝Leaderboard shifts, new clients, and mini-app growth keep the ecosystem buzzing 📈Twelve-year Ethereum whitepaper nostalgia rounds out the weekend geek-fest 🧪

From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster kicked off December with Prof and Adrienne speed-running the entire network’s weekend drama—client diversity debates, decentralization checkpoints, T.Y.S.M. rising like a surprise middle-class hero, and everyone pretending they totally did read V’s extremely long post without Neynar’s TLDR bailout. And with V’sdecentralization manifesto, client-diversity hand-wringing, and a weekend full of “did we really need three new clients?” debates, the episode felt like a Monday morning group chat where everyone is half-awake but extremely opinionated about protocol architecture.
