1. Better regulation wouldn't have hurt, but I doubt it would have made the kind of nonlinear wealth gain effect ppl are seeking (e.g. being early to BTC/ETH)
2. Someone ought to go pitch Mark Cuban on Farcaster

Wow, the comments over there are actually the worst. There's a reason that I open bluesky about once a week, and usually when it's linked to in warpcast

Interested in ZK, FHE, PUFs, hardware, system design, ai safety, and smart contact security.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

I'm struggling to think of something, I find that even if I disagree with most replies here they are at least thoughtful. The only times I've muted anybody are after I've been critical of some e/acc inspired nonsense, but those are still the minority of replies

Brutal. What's the equivalent topic on Farcaster? That if someone posted in support of it, all of the worst replies come out to rally against it?

You're not wrong, but I think the more you use it, your Baysian priors get adjusted such that you expect the noise and when you do get some dissent from the hivemind, it becomes all the more salient & interesting. But yes, I agree it would be better if the low-value replies were filtered out.
Also you have to seek out technical ppl that mostly focus on their fields, like I follow a bunch of compchem / compbio ppl that I wouldn't find over here.
