Anyone else senses that posting on Twitter feels like tap dancing and trying to “make it” while posting here feels just like trying to… be?

Trying to get engagement feels like a game on Twitter, except the game is optimized for ad views and algorithms.

Posting on Farcaster doesn’t have the same incentives built in so it feels more like self-expression rather than performance art for engagement/reach.

Good point. I think I indeed feel “closer” because of the lack of algorithm/low volume/followers. It informs my formatting and the way I interact. It’s peaceful ha.

Here there is no trying. It’s just being. Sort of lovely. Is that a direct output of the people or a temporary state because of low volume / no algo to wrestle with?
