X is a tough place to be if you’re a technologist who doesn’t enjoy being distracted by politics 24/7

To balance my token criticisms and be constructive:

I think this is the growth vector Farcaster ought to lean into. Both Bluesky and X (aka Redsky) are exhausting due to politics — neither caters to the “gray tribe”

FC could be an oasis for technologists — frames and unruggable distribution are clutch primitives for this

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

For now, but it’s a war of attrition. Most technology ICs dislike conflict and being in the center of it. Bluesky meanwhile is actively anti AI and crypto 

Leaning into crypto is not bad per se, but it’s how you do it. Token shilling late in the meta ain’t it though

Less Monaco, more Singapore

Doesn’t drive enough growth. Technologists are on X despite all the baggage because the most important AI people are on X.

Crypto is our differentiation, for better and worse.

I like this take, I would also want to push hard on an education angle, it worked wonders for YouTube’s growth
