Farcaster

These are the vibes we should avoid imo

Status games are a slippery slope and there are already a bunch of “social” apps available if people want to play them

/new-york by day 🗽 /latenightcrew by night :) Fan of eating tacos and bringing people together, often at the same time 🌮 oh and /untzuntz 😈

Boosts can't be bought and limited to accounts <10K followers? Pretty limited cultural impact imo.

I don’t mean that boosts themselves are inherently bad (interesting experiment to boost smaller accounts) but I think they contribute to a larger trend of obsessing about reach, distribution, engagement, etc. that turns Farcaster into one big status game (which I don’t feel if I’m just texting my friends in a group chat)

...because you're in the squishy / perceived high status club :)

my point is that mentality works if you feel like you're in the high status part of the network. again, hard to define.

for most new people, harder / more opaque game to play.

Take away all of my followers except for my mutuals and I wouldn’t behave any differently on here

Could care less about my follower count tbh, I log on here to hang with friends and make new ones
