It’s pretty incredible how good people are at sniffing out resource scarcity and “status” markers People absolutely speedrunning the: “whoa Farcaster is pretty cool” ⬇️ “wait why don’t I have an active badge” ⬇️ “kill Dan and everyone he puts on the auto-follow list” cycle rn

idk mia, but her memes seem funny and there's prob a reason it was posted on X instead of here. That said, I generally think this misses the mark in terms of where the conditions for growth came from in the first place and is fairly unhelpful w its proposed solutions. (more to follow)

I'm not on the FC team, but have been here for 2 years now - so that's where the following opinions are coming from. 0. Already addressed my thoughts on the auto-follow list elsewhere. This seems to be the main complaint tbh (and is a reasonable one imo) and the rest sort of seems like venting

1. The only reason we've made it this far is explicitly BECAUSE it is literally someone's app with all the opinionated decisions that come with it. The early community was a curated vibe that became cozy + thoughtful enough to start attracting other likeminded folks.

It's also important to note that the creators of the FC cozy vibe was largely NOT crypto twitter elite who were "early" to Farcaster. Most of those folks w the earliest FID's churned immediately to go back to twitter. They wanted to broadcast, not to vibe - simple as 🤷

2. Growth at all costs isn't the goal They're listening to devs who want more users to build for, but it's more nuanced. qDAU growth is what matters. Every "mistake" mentioned is an explicit experiment to reduce noise and boost signal. (ie "Are you willing to bear costs?" is a blunt proxy for pro-social signals)
