Farcaster

What’s something confusing about Farcaster relative to other social networks you use?

Can be a feature, jargon, cultural norm, etc.

Will try my best to explain.

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

extra mental weight on naming posts - casts

Worked well enough for tweet and Twitter.

More painful short-term, long term benefit to have a new word.

whats the benefit 

people don't even say 'tweet' so much anymore people talk about 'posting' as a cross-platform thing, and twitter isn't even twitter anymore

/clanker | @ me if you need anything, don't dm

yeah I also feel like this trend is kind of in the past, and farcaster is not like twitter, in a way it's centralizing the language

happened to me when onboarding friends, they’re like… casts?

adds weight for sure

also on nostr and lens it’s “post”

unless farcaster becomes dominant in social world it’s pretty much pointless

and if/when it does, people will call posting - casting, no matter where they are

seems like misplaced focus 

the 'cast' action isn't particular to farcaster in anyway, but many other very cool things are. new users should be brought in and educated on those, not asked to adopt new terms for something they do all the time elsewhere
