1/ People seem increasingly concerned about the term "daily active users" (DAU). It's used by other web2 social networks (in SEC filings!) and now other decentralized social networks; we use Meta's definition (below). Is there likely a better definition? Yes! Have we come up with a better methodology? Not yet.

2/ Farcaster social graph is permissionless, anyone is able to come up with an alternative, better metric. You might even convince everyone else on Farcaster to use it! However, the casual observer on Twitter that sees a DAU comparison between various networks won't care about the nuance.

Idea 👉🏻 Community Engagement Index (CEI) may provide a meaningful gauge of activity and engagement on Farcaster. We can calculate the individual CEI for each user based on activities and weightage on each component. These scores can be aggregated for platform CEI. Tracked over time, CEI is able to show trends.

The term is fine when the U is capturing users and not paid accounts For the millionth time, these are not the same thing!

Does it depend on the amount of time spent in the messenger, or is it determined by the number of likes and comments?

It's interesting how they count people using Messenger as you can use Messenger without visiting the main Facebook.
