Warpcast needs more content. That’s not a technical problem it’s a human problem — you just need more people naturally using the platform from all walks of life. They may be people you like or dislike but they and their interactions with each other make up the culture of the platform. The technical infrastructure is just like the physical infrastructure of a city, it’s there to facilitate what the people who choose to live there do. I never used the Twitter competitors like Bluesky because they just seemed to be the exact same thing as Twitter but intended to create an ideological ghetto for people who felt uncomfortable there. I prefer a messy mix of ideologies, cultures, and politics because that’s more fun and more intellectually challenging. Warpcast is worth migrating because unlike Bluesky it’s genuinely a different and superior interface for interacting with people. Now it just needs the people and I think it naturally would take off and become a mass platform if that is the goal.

Thanks! The challenge is very few people who already have audiences on Twitter want to switch (sunk cost). So you have to market to people not on Twitter...who would be good at Twitter. :)

I think you got me into it. The sunk cost issue is a real one; but I think if I self-appraise the motivation of getting a small but consistent and real economic reward to keep posting has been a really effective motivator. And then over time you keep doing that and you have accrued an audience that you feel motivated to keep posting for.

There are plenty of people who are decent at twitter who could benefit from being early to a new platform AND plenty of people who have audiences who have lost reach on twitter with the new algorithm.

Farcaster has a value proposition that others can't match. This applies especially to journalists and other "content creators." Why not capitalize on it? https://warpcast.com/abundance/0x3fa91175

- better basic features - better tools for creators - a (marketing) strategy to get cool ppl in everything else is a friendly chat while interest fades and ppl give up

People could also educate their Twitter audience on the benefits of decentralized social and use @yup to cross post

In generally against traditional marketing in most cases but I'll be stoked to see my first Farcaster ad.

This could be a great selling point for Farcaster. It is pretty hard to grow any following on Twitter rn, especially if you don't have verification.

you just have to cater to creators. specially small ones. twitter/traditional social networks are horrible for small creators the traditional AI feed makes it difficult to grow a network

You might be talking with the insights from data, but one thing I know for sure is Farcaster needs more publicity than it currently has. I didn't know it until someone talked about it in a space on Twitter. It has a lot of selling point that'd easily draw people from Twitter. True, they may be reluctant, but when they get here, they'll feel at home and bring their community with them. You could try using Twitter influencers, give them incentives and compel them to migrate their communities.
