I'm a bit slow with stuff like this... Does this mean we had a bunch of interesting content in June but not in September? What happened to the content producers? Did they leave? Why? And don't say not enough interesting content 😅 Did they go somewhere with more interesting content? Why did that place have more IC? Network effects? I feel like, as a model for network growth, "IC as an attractor" is too simple. Consider that 2 weeks ago BlueSky got 3m signups and grew 50%: does the IC as an attractor model explain this behaviour completely?

I heard blue sky onboarded Brazilians as they were banned from X. And prior to that someone shared that news that FC should try to take that approach as a way to onboard more persons. But I dont think the cast was paid any attention

Correct on both accounts. So the question becomes: why did the 3M go to BS instead of FC?

BS — free, barely any crypto "crap" (that's how many people view it) + mimesis — people leave for BS so i'll go there too. answering the question is kind of beside the point. it should never be "why did they go to XYZ instead", but "why should they come to FC". (plus i think tech is not there yet and merkle is playing it safe)

Aren't the questions duals of each other? If you want them to choose A and then choose B, then understanding why they chose B allows you to strategize improving A for the next iteration.

in an ideal world, maybe. but explanations are almost never correct and even if they were, it's rarely desired to replicate competition. i admire dan's focus and willingness to make unpopular decisions. it's tough, and he might be (and probability dictates he is) sometimes wrong, but i believe it's the only way to build a great product.

Not suggesting to replicate competition. I think if you have a theory that your business growth is based on X model, and you see evidence that X model can't explain, then you should re-assess X model. Not important if the evidence comes from your platform or a competitors...
