Have noticed there are two popular perspectives on what Farcaster should focus on. The first is “grow users”. People in this camp tend to be building consumer apps. They also tend to have raised some amount of funding. They have relatively higher time preference. The second camp is “optimize for decentralization”. It’s nuanced since most people are in favor of some flavor of sufficient decentralization, but they would prefer fewer centralized experiments and more proactive FIP-based experiments. There’s also a general desire for governance that’s not “rough consensus and running code”. There’s no proposed solution here. We’ve traditionally been more in the first camp. But probably some small changes we could make to make the second camp a bit happier without sacrificing speed of iteration (the most important advantage for an upstart).

What’s better for Warpcast’s future? Importing top influencers from X or fostering new voices from within? Feels like a huge fork in the road. Where do you stand?

The most followed on accounts on Farcaster today are, in almost all cases, new voices with small audiences on X. Need both, though.

Yeah, a mix is probably best. New voices keep things fresh, but a few big names could speed up adoption. Just need to make sure they don’t dominate the culture. Sweet stuff, really sweet stuff!
