Warpcast

Farcaster

This isn't the main reason that people aren't onboarding onto Farcaster 

Warpcast has done a poor job of creating network effects where active users try to onboard their friends.  I think many active users are discouraged to attempt to onboard their friends or social circle bc  a) it costs $5 and b) there's not enough fun things for friends to do with each other like Words With Friends, Wordle, HQ Trivia etc.

People already have too many messaging apps so I think Warpcast needs to offer messaging/social plus more fun activities in order for new users to onboard to yet another social platform or messaging app

i don't know if "fun activities" is a warpcast issue. people can develop frames to do fun activities in those. but i do agree that we are seeing network effects limitations. likely related to the kind of activity that is prioritized. it seems like many are just farming for the next airdrop or freebie shitcoin to tip next..

i think we're saying the same thing. i think the overcorrection on curbing spam-like content on WC is effecting this.

network effects are handicapped by what is deemed a good user or good content on the network by Merkle
