Farcaster is a single-tribe network, not a social network.

Big difference.

are the pre filtered values just people who don‘t yell or squabble? It would be interesting to run an anonymous poll to see just how diverse the views of casters are

With multiple Farcaster clients, we might have multiple parallel single-tribe networks. 

Taking a radical example: 
a client filtering people who have DonaldTrump NFTs vs. a client filtering people who have JoeBiden2024 NFTs.

You might also have one metaclient where you can see everyone, like on Twitter.

A single-tribe network is a better name for what I was calling* a 1-network.

It's a social network where there is only one tribe. There isn't yelling or squabbling to the same extent because people have been pre-filtered on values.

One thesis is that we are entering the age of "network defect" — where the disalignment you get from squabbling tribes outweighs the advantage of having them all on one platform.

If so, we may need to make single-tribe networks more *useful* for doing things. 

Example: a designer guild network integrated with Figma

I do wonder how quickly networks need to become multi-tribe to stay relevant for the long term

I agree but also feel like @v and @dwr.eth are doing this deliberately to learn how to scale quality communities with the end goal of being multi network.

Aka this is a strategy not an end goal. 

Time will tell, and it’s exciting to see it happen in real time

A web of interoperable single-tribe networks is the future. 

It's really how civil society has evolved, more so than purely unguarded ‘social networks’.

interesting parallel to clubhouse, it was a single-tribe network / tech-bro enclave until the tech vs music industry war started (proving out the one tribe lack of squabbling)

At this moment in time definitely 

Forever though? 🤷‍♀️ I no longer even pretend to predict the future with any certainty - I leaned that from someone I admire (🫵 🤣)

Does that mean each single-tribe network I am a part of, could be one of the various “puzzle pieces” that make me me and not someone else, if my digital identity were in fact interoperable across all?

prob more accurate to say that the current users of this particular FC client seem to be very like minded or single tribe, but could change as more people join

FC also only shows you posts from people you follow, so more tribes could exist that u don’t 👀

FC as a protocol tho has no opinions

do you anticipate Farcaster evolving into a multi-tribe network?
