Farcaster is a sufficiently decentralized social network.

Two main components:

1. On-chain registry for identity registration (like DID VDRs). Table of username, address, and host_url
2. Off-chain hosts where users store social data

Farcaster allows users to host their content on any web server as long as they sign everything with their private key.

There are two options for hosting: self-hosting and using a managed host (Gmail does for email and Github does for Git).
