Truly remarkable how despite steady growth Farcaster always gets left out of commentary like this. There is a genuine parallel universe invisibility effect beyond the cryptowall. I don’t think this is a problem to be solved. Rather, it’s a regime boundary to be respected and understood. Just as you think of your insurance spending and regular consumption spending in separate buckets, your social media attention budget has separate buckets. Your financial budget has buckets: Tax, retirement savings (including equity part of mortgage), insurance, emergency liquidity, and consumption. Your attention budget has analogous buckets. Tax = news. Retirement savings = learning. Insurance = Censorship resistant media use. Emergency liquidity = email/slack/zoom other work channels. Consumption = regular infotainment media, including social.

dont think its only that. i keep a pretty close tabs on different communities in the ecosystems for my writing. the type of crypto positive people that i do see (some on bsky, lots on nostr) is that its the type that is very distrustful of anything that reeks too much of centralisation

Hmm, I've been following Farcaster mentions on both platforms for years and most common response on both platforms to any mention of Farcaster is that it's inherently scammy (Bsky because cryptocurrency, Nostr because non-Bitcoin).
