A big issue for platforms like farcaster is that it took me 4 years and a ton of effort to build up an audience and following on twitter. The ability to port that network over to farcaster is crucial for ppl to fully migrate to this app. It’s just too much work to go through again for an app with very similar functionality to where your network already exists. I feel like it’s just too difficult to scale up the user base effectively without the ability to port over easily.

The issue is your audience won't port over in terms of DAU / habit. So at best you get 10-20%. And Elon has shut down the official follow APIs, so any way you try to export would be clunky, have low uptake.

Because the format is so similar you could simply simulcast on both and give the option to your followers to find their way here. There are clearly people on Xitter that are simply fed up with it and giving them a conduit to calmer platform would be a service to them and expand your overall footprint. This can be a fluid process over time, doesn't take much imo.

But you don’t need access to twitter APIs you can download the following and follower graph through the twitter archive data and connect your twitter to a 3rd party handle. No offense but projecting a 10% conversion seems unnecessary bearish imo. If you’re trying to disrupt social media, but you can’t convert users are you really succeeding? IMO Farcaster could gain users both ways but the proposed way could create a more powerful snowball effect.

Also I don’t necessarily want the people who are t willing to figure out harassing to follow me anyway. The amount of whinging is intolerable.
