1/ People seem increasingly concerned about the term "daily active users" (DAU). It's used by other web2 social networks (in SEC filings!) and now other decentralized social networks; we use Meta's definition (below). Is there likely a better definition? Yes! Have we come up with a better methodology? Not yet.

starting from a baseline of something meta defined and leaving it as is does not inspire much faith

What would you propose as an alternative?

don’t have a simple answer for you readily available, it just strikes me that if you’re trying to create/curate the next-gen social experience that borrowing any definition from the old guard isn’t breaking any grounds or even getting off on the right foot, imo

ehh I kinda disagree here, building something next-gen inherently means you borrow some things from the previous gen. not everything needs to be a reinvention of the wheel. take what things you can and then iterate and improve everywhere you can, but no need to throw out every aspect of the past (learn from it instead)

How come no one else working on a social network — centralized or decentralized — has tried to do this?

That definition is very agnostic as to what experience you give them. I’m no fan of big social, but they were really good at what they did. Let’s not bend ourselves backwards avoiding useless terms. It’s the actions we want to avoid :)
