I often get asked if discove is going to support other social protocols besides Farcaster. 

I think supporting multiple protocols creates complex UX, uses dev cycles & shows a lack of conviction. 
Long term I think social protocols have strong network effects and there will be a clear winner; I'm betting on Farcaster.

Building open source via @frames, /open-frames to help Farcaster and decentralized social win. a16z CSX23. Side projects: farcasterchannels.com farcaster.id

I understand why many social apps are aggregating - they have raised $Xm and need to grow fast, now to raise their next next round before they run out of money. 

But if you're thinking long term, I think the goal needs to be to build better, web3 enabled social experiences, not maximize content or short term TAM.

Isn’t the username space somewhat shared already? Eg given just a wallet address I can pull in both your FC followers and Lens followers permissionlessly

I feel strongly that the long term north star needs to be mass consumer, not niche crypto twitter.

I don't see consumers setting up Farcaster, Bluesky, Lens, and Deso accounts to use in the same app, unless the username space is shared and the protocols are abstracted away
