What's on your mind re: Farcaster?

Feels like there's been a subtle uptick in negativity recently directed at a variety of people / teams. I'd rather that be directed my way.

Curious to hear what people are frustrated with in the replies.

Will only ask clarifying questions, i.e. no arguing or defending or telling you that you're wrong.

And then I'll do a video response in a few days sharing our latest thinking based on any common themes.

It seems like Bluesky has been able to capture some of the marketshare of various communities leaving Twitter (tech and urbanism Twitter are the two I’m privy to).

Have you thought about why Bluesky was successful in attracting these users and what Farcaster could learn from it?

Purely from the standpoint of “where is the conversation happening?” Bluesky in my experience has been more active than Twitter for these communities lately (more so in the case of urbanism as there’s still a lot of tech people on Twitter so this may be more true for niche communities). 

In terms of the experience, Bluesky has the closest 1:1 parity with Twitter vs. FC or Mastodon so it’s likely an easier mental lift for users to switch over.

It also could be a right place, right time situation. Dan Abramov is behind Bluesky so it’s natural that devs would follow.

Why do you think they’ve been successful?

Same!

To be honest, I don't have a ton of time at the moment but I'm happy to help where I can if it's a light lift.

Would love more /urbanism content here! Want to help with /concretejungle?
