Farcaster

A question I’m pondering: Farcaster is a product-led protocol, but is Warpcast the right product?

Twitter is the smallest of all at-scale social networks. Although Twitter-fans will tell you it has outsized status for its size, it’s never been able to break 1B users.

What would Farcaster look like if Warpcast was modeled after Instagram or TikTok? How would that affect protocol priorities and roadmap?

I think the driving motivator is the text format

Short-form text generates network effects faster than images or videos because:
1) it's the easiest to create
2) info / storage cost (ie. info density) is high

That pretty much leaves X, FB, and Reddit as best skeumorphics
