I honestly think Farcaster is just a much better experience. Is it the wallet requirement? Why do people keep mentioning Mastodon the most? https://i.imgur.com/z4zzsCv.png

Why didn’t you link the tweet? Just curious. Now I have to search and Farcaster has the support no?

Twitter is (was) a catchall - Mastodon is the next largest catchall platform with a similar ux. Farcaster has a unique audience & features - but it's certainly not currently for everyone, everything --- or, critically, has self-service onboarding.

Almost no one has heard of FC. Mastodon has been around for years and has a much much larger user base. Millions of people use it. Not even 100k people know what FC is. Same goes for Lens. Although larger user base there. Told a room of crypto people about both and no one knew what I was talking about.

Equally curious. I am trying to understand what's the difference. But it seems to be made up of different small things

I’m a fancaster. I mention it on Twitter every time (@dwr.eth had to tell me to slow the fuck down). Keep going like that. Mastodon design is flawed imho.

1. Onboarding difficulty is by design. 2. We need to actually ship v2 before we can turn attention back to protocol growth.

Multiple people have told me they started to create a FC account then stopped once they had to connect a wallet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think farcaster is relatively “crypto bubble”, the current reality is that most non crypto people see “NFT” or “wallet” and run

I would say the greatest friction is digital crypto wallet and the stigma of cryptocurrency

Onboarding non-crypto people on any crypto service is extremely hard because it requires them to trust and understand crypto and your service at the same time. Failing in doing either it’s a missed acquisition. The way I’d approach would be exploring to see if the FC can be people’s first wallet in a transparent

People are bringing their following graph. there are tools to export the people I pay attention to already, so it felt like less of a cold start problem. I’ve been here longer but since so many twitter groups moved there simultaneously it was easy to figure out what to chat about, norms etc.

Basically everyone I have managed to get an invite for gets dissuaded by some aspect of the technical friction. Including technically savvy people. Sucks for me!

Yeah, I think it’s the crypto wallet thing. Which, definitely set off my scam feelers tingling when I set it up the first time. It frankly feels super shady

Wallet was a bit weird, felt lucky to already have a few installed mobile wallets. Why cant FC sign using the initial generated address?

Mastodon is just easier to on-board to right now. I was interested in Farcaster before but didn't have an invite, and I didn't have the push to track one down until Elon's recent escapades. I doubt Mastodon will win in the end mostly due to the fragmented / separate servers.
