Farcaster was just another VC-funded cash grab, slapping trendy words like "decentralization" and "crypto" on their pitch deck to get investors. Swapping out the original founders for some "community devs" won't fix the broken architecture. It's still a walled garden dressed up as something revolutionary, a closed ecosystem that requires the usage of one private key, one protocol, and one network. Neynar clearly states in the acquisition announcement that it runs infrastructure of Farcaster. Spasm operates on fundamentally different principles because it was architected from day one as a genuinely open ecosystem. Unlike its centralized counterparts, Spasm embraces true interoperability by supporting diverse private keys, multiple protocols, and various networks. Most importantly, its infrastructure isn't controlled by any corporate entity but is collectively maintained and governed by the community itself, ensuring it remains resistant to the capture and acquisitions that plague supposedly "decentralized" projects from Steem to Farcaster.

The actual roadmap to creating a consent-based society based on libertarian principles such as the freedom of association is a different topic. Establishing new governance systems with legitimate geneses on uninhabited territories represents a promising solution, particularly as technological advances enable human colonization of Antarctica, oceans, other planets, and space in general. However, we can also reform the existing systems by reducing federal government powers, transferring greater authority to municipalities, and establishing robust institutions dedicated to protecting decentralization and freedom of association. Additionally, implementing Prospera-inspired special economic zones would introduce competitive governance, paving the way for a 'government as a service' paradigm where individuals choose their preferred administrative frameworks rather than being bound by territorial monopolies.
