this is an interesting conversation.
dePLATFORMED to me means you literally have 0 way inside the walled garden of a platform.
if you're banned on X or Insta you're totally gone. No way around it.
On Farcaster people are being banned from clients. Yes it's the primary client which isn't great. But you can still keep casting and those who want to see your casts can use other clients. You have a way around the client ban, unlike other platforms.
A lot of people remain on the primary client - they've opted to do so. I like to think we're all high agency adults here. People have made the deliberate choice to forego seeing other's casts because they want to stay on the primary client for whatever their reasons may be.
I think of it more like being banned from a Discord server. You were kicked out of a server because whose ever server you were in didn't think you played by their rules. But you are free to join other servers. Doesn't mean they'll all be as popular as the server you got booted from but you can still join servers.
