Fallacies in building decentralized social protocols / platforms in crypto: 1. It has to be financialized. 2. Everything should be onchain. 3. The protocol should avoid having an official client. 4. Verifying a user as human makes them interesting and valuable. 5. It must work with all existing standards and other protocols. 6. Funding developers proactively and directly is the key to growth. 7. Most users care about how decentralized it is, whether it's open source and generally esoteric hypotheticals about the future. What most users care about: is it interesting to use right now? What most developers care about: 1) are there valuable users and 2) can I build something that gets access to said users, i.e. decent enough APIs

to me it’s funny how 2 and 3 have been some of the most repeated comments about farcaster and yet have ended up helping the protocol grow so much & become what it is today(to your point about these being fallacies)
