Farcaster solves the fundamental problem with the Fediverse. It uses the blockchain for global, tamper-resistant state. That was the issue that bedeviled Mastodon. Servers could fake everything, even user counts. They had no mechanism for decentralized consensus. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1154461575656308737

One important point that wasn’t mentioned in that X thread is that global consensus is critical on a social model because the entire revenue system uses those stats to operate https://x.com/manuelmaccou/status/1805197849681969614?s=46&t=nKz19xkjBExbNJhnxDcuqQ

Nice thread. I see lots of engagement farming & bots here too (essentially mirroring Twitter) & I’d consider it very valuable for projects, people to differentiate likes & other actions to determine truly good casts, real users, valuable users, tipping allowances .. > hence interesting for end users in warpcast @dwr.eth as well as apps & tools like /openrank /degentokenbase /lp /wildcardclub

Fully agree. Still puzzled why so many smart people refuse to see this “big hole” in fediverse trustworthiness 🤷‍♂️

I think, as the dust settles on SocialFi, we're left with no choice but to find an incentive system that keeps the consensus ongoing. although one could argue that Ethereum's self-sustainability inherently makes Hubs cheaper, it's more than fair to also argue that the network has to work out for operators vs community.

Mastodon culture complements the tech substrate: superseded, deceptive, broken and broke Is liveness without correctness is worse than centralisation?

I was just thinking about the similarities and differences between Farcaster and Mastodon, and then I came across your post, which answered my question.

What if we used partial ordering for scalability and pushed parts of the consensus off-chain? Bringing everything onchain in a total global order might hinder the massive scalability needed for a social network with billions of users.

furthermore, i think farcaster is more usable and better looking than twitter and it makes think that farcaster could be bigger than twitter one day.

It also resolves some UX issues that other social sites on Lens Protocol have. At least with Warpcast client, I just feels like using regular Web2 social media without really need to think about signing messages, owning NFTs, etc.
