3/ X used to have many clients, like Tweetdeck and Twitterific, until it cut off its API access and killed them Now, X is just X whether you like its ads, subscriptions, shadowbans, and algorithm or not The beauty of Farcaster is client diversity and giving power back to users

8/ What I love about Farcaster is its positive-sum community Farcaster has given me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to contribute where I can, collaborate with builders, and learn from my role models like @jessepollak It’s the perfect place for anyone, anywhere to come onchain
