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 software via @frames, /open-frames and /mod, to help Farcaster and decentralized social win

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

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.

In agreement. 

I believe in this stage of the market, this is the right approach. There may be a different answer in a few years, but for now focus and execute on a narrow problem for a narrow segment :)

Another piece of it is that you won’t know which of these other protocols won’t be around by the time a clear winner is chosen

Why get ahead of aggregating Altavista, yahoo, and ask Jeeves if Google emerges from the pack. When that event comes, it’ll change the competitive landscape. Worry about it then
