do u think getting more ppl w “big” followings (100k+) from twitter, insta, tik tok to consistently cast on farcaster is a nice to have or a must have for fc to be successful in the next 1-2 yrs? is there a strategy to bring these ppl over, or would u prefer it occur organically? pretty cool to see the number of ppl here who have large followings only on fc too, personal feel is that these ppl tend to be more conversational in replies than ppl w large followings on other social apps

Does FC need non crypto-native creators and content to be successful? Or does the TAM of crypto-native projects and behaviors grow exponentially enough to make FC successful if it becomes defacto social protocol for crypto as a whole?

Why shouldn’t devs be terrified that any useful/highly utilized cast composer action will just get coopted and released by the Merkle Team once utility is proven?

I have notifications turned on for some people, but is there a way to stop them from appearing as push notifications on my phone? I want to receive notifications only within the app.

In what situations might you find Farcaster unable to meet your vision, leading you to move away from it? I ask because as a community developer I invested significant effort into decentralized products like Steemit and Mirror, but the founding teams dissolved after several years.

The problem is that many users are consuming only reactions and the other two are left alone. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? For example, we can buy them individually or consume them together.

curious what you would do in my position... people ask often when I'll expand to non-farcaster rsvps. I'd want to use @event as a way to onboard real people to the protocol as opposed to support other platforms. But the issue is the cost of storage for new users. I see three options: 1. @event pays for for the cost of storage 2. hosts pay for the cost of storage 3. guests pay for the cost of storage thoughts?

why isn’t Warpcast leaning into short form vertical videos like every other social app right now? (not saying you should, just curious to hear your perspective) (and plz don’t say “sounds like a great opportunity for another client”) thx in advance for a thoughtful answer: have a great day pops 🫡

before the valuation and being categorized as unicorn on the space - I wonder, what were some of the biggest challenges you faced during development of Farcaster? and how it fueled more positively.

Also for reporting accounts, will we ever get to write comments on why we think this said account deserves to be reported and muted? Is there someone/team assigned to investigate? Or it all depends on how many people report it? Have you ever banned a caster? Is it a thing?

Did you guys consider using decentralized messaging protocols (XMTP / XMPP) before deciding to handle direct casts internally? If so, what were the major issues you saw w them?
