The way they did it was effectively deplatforming. For all the sufficient decentralization the Merkle team talked about, it’s not possible for me to use Farcaster with anything Merkle and Neynar built.
It’s only because we had a fork in the works that it’s not “technically” deplatforming. Without it was a @cassiemass deplatform, plain and simple.
Getting caught up in technicalities is a distraction. The people who got booted understand what this was.
