The user, posting as @cassonmars, said Balaji Srinivasan, described as Farcaster's new owner, banned them from "their side of the fork," and announced plans for a hard fork of the protocol, asking followers for name ideas for what they called their "non-cancerous side" and linking an emergency group chat. The user said they had been critical of Balaji's associates at a16z, Paradigm and Hex, and criticized Rish and Manan for selling Farcaster to someone they called a petty tyrant seeking a fiefdom.
