Warpcast

out of all social media platforms i've used, farcaster has had by far the highest conversion rate for making friends

lesson in there and perhaps something warpcast should lean into vs whatever "interesting content" means

How much of it having to do w/ early stage + smaller community & close knit culture? My experience: when platform grows to be big this often disappears. The problem is if platform can grow big enough yet still keep that/part of it

Farcaster

> community

That works for existing people? How do you scale adding thousands of new people every day and still make it feel like a community?

got into this a bit w dan yesterday. short answer it needs to go from being one strong community to a flywheel for creating and growing communities.

what clubhouse and many others failed at.

Building @nanograph @cast2save, moding /singapore

Further thoughts on this topic (extremely interested as I was a mod in bbs times lol) : 

1. Community organizers/mods/channel owners are also builders for farcaster. When we talk about supporting builders & provide more funding/legos keep that in mind. Crypto culture has emphasized mainly devs & researchers as builders, that needs to update in decentralized social. 

2. What we can provide as legos & incentives for this new category of builders to kick off the flywheel? Thinking 🤔

the real skill is being able to make friends even when there are a billion people here

I wonder about this too :) what are other factors/mechanisms can preserve this alongside mass growth

it's a big factor for sure and worth figuring how to reproduce as the network grows
