Farcaster

If you don’t like the “make money” consumer value prop for Farcaster—what do you think is better?

-Own your audience
-BYOC (build your own cult/community)

Rationale: FC needs more stars. We've (you've? Merkel has?) minted some new great ones already (thank you btw) but the truth is most people are passive in social, and the biggest pain point by far for massively popular creators is the fear of not being able to properly control their own audience. Pitch it as a place where you massively derisk deplatofming, demonetization, govt ban etc, and I think you could get some viral flywheels going for an exodus off somewhere. 

Not set up for short form video RN I know, but the rednote moment could have been farcasters in a slightly altered universe.

rednote happened because they were positioned as the antithesis of us govt "ban" (lol divestiture technically but narratives matter more)

it was a resounding F U to regulation for any reason due to massive distrust rightfully earned by... administrations (no need to left vs. right here)

FC is not as far away from that as it may seem to the casual observer

something something make your own luck

Agree on minting more stars.

Rednote happened because the app already had scale?

fwiw owning my audience and profile are what attracted me originally. if the platform were credibly neutral (and passively likely to stay that way), I’d have continued building.
