Farcaster

this bot-liking scandal has me wondering, once again, whether we've got this whole social media thing wrong

i really liked farcaster 6+ months ago. the scenius was palpable. not that i'm against letting new people in, but now it feels more like we're back to the standard social media - strangers one-upping themselves

It's a handful of accounts? Mute them and it's not an issue. :)

sure, but like i said, in general it feels like the scenius has ended.

Plenty of people still treating it like a group chat!

That's why casting in channels is powerful. People can go to a place to find a specific group of people. Will be easier to create quirky / non-topic-based channels once they are permissionless.

My 2 cents:

Since there are more users, it is harder for active users to see your casts (therefore, less reactions/replies). In the past, it was way easier to reach active users.

I still see great conversations happening, but I usually have to find them, instead of those convos showing up (through trending/searches)
