Farcaster

I’ve always assumed having a portable social graph is a net positive and something I’d want

At Threads scale it turns out people used the app more when they rebuilt a graph from scratch rather than importing from instagram 

The good news with Farcaster is that it’s always an option and up to each client to decide how to onboard users. And channels are a good way to creating new sub graphs aka cozy corners

Raises questions around why people wouldn’t want to import their graph. 

The chameleon factor. People want isolated communities where they can express themselves differently depending on the audience 

My behavior already reveals this- I post slightly different things to different networks
