snapchain, for now, receives shared message types (casts, likes, etc). i doubt they'll keep it compatible, they already made an "emergency" security update that changed block headers (unrelated to the actual security concerns in the update). we are no longer following snapchain on our side, so any further breakage they do is their decision to make. but that said, people like me who were purged dissenters cannot be seen on nsfc regardless of snapchain replicating the data.
I had thought Hypersnap was being forked so it would be independent. I was reacting to the comment above about Farcaster changing to network state without free speech as a stated goal, and if that’s the case, people should be able to support both as different projects with different goals?
it is independent, that doesn't mean we're going to isolate users on snapchain or prevent people from interacting with them – we're adding a relay so when the fork block is reached, messages that are compatible can go between networks. what i mean is that compatibility is _theirs_ to break. we're not going to do anything to break compatibility. they have already demonstrated they will do so with two hour's notice. people are free to support both ideas in parallel, but when the reality of what that "choice" to no longer honor free speech turned out to be – a silencing of critics, people posting LGBT content, anyone on one side of the political spectrum – kicking people out retroactively, with no notice of new "rules", banning their access to speak with their friends (DMs), it's clear this is motivated beyond what the public statement is.
Would be easier to support NS if their actions showed they cared about anything the network was founded on. “Sufficient decentralization” goes out the window when you don’t allow community validators, push breaking changes without warning, and won’t even speak with community protocol devs. I understand NS has other ideas they want to pursue but let’s not pretend the FC community came here because we were promised “clean speech”. Community members were banned without warning. That’s not a call for co-existence.
