tried explaining farcaster to a normie and they immediately turned their attention to privacy concerns. they didn’t want their likes and follows publicly visible. what’s the current state of the conversation around this?

Elon owns your data and account and sells it to the highest bidder: “cool cool” Nobody owns your data, you own your account, you earn the money: “VIOLATION OF PRIVACY MUCH?!”

it's definitely a trade-off. on the one hand, it can feel weird to have data be public if you didn't understand it would be at first. on the other hand, the openness is what allows for different (and I would argue better) kinds of apps to be built. I think the answer is to remind users early and often what's public.

'They didn't want their likes and follows publicly visible'... checks Facebook. Didn't we all give up our privacy a long time ago? Or, at least, wasn't it taken from us? Now we're all in a fruitless battle to try and get some of it back. It's such a strange argument.

Short term: intelligent loss of sales; they're not a fit for where it's at right now. Long term: they have to live somewhere (or do they?). A Tornado-like client that obfuscates/anonymizes could be interesting, but then they essentially own the data.

Hard to believe a normie would raise this kind of concerns. It took 5 mins and an article read to me to get the point.

💯 everytime i talk to a normie friend about web3 social, they just hate the idea of their tx history being public and searchable.

Indeed, likes aren't private but they have superpowers in farcaster. Liking can trigger onchain actions like tipping and more.

Mainstream social media have this info public already, the difference with FC or other web3 social is that the social graph is more easily accessible to everyone rather than having to pay/move around rate limiting imposed from 1 entity
