Kinda feel like using a different name for the app and protocol was a mistake.

Non-crypto natives gonna be confused

Make something people want to be a part of

I understand the reasoning behind. The reasoning is very crypto native though.

I find myself joining “join FC”, and then I get asked “then why’d you send me a WC link”.

Then I explain the whole client diversity thing and then I lose them.

Less to explain is just easier for everyone :)

really? I think it was essential. 

Beyond making fully understanding the ecosystem a bit more complicated, whats the risk you see?

Meta vs Facebook&Insta only happened long after becoming a wild success.

I think people will simply understand it like how they understand Facebook and meta. Though both of these are entirely two different things I don't think they're gonna get confused as we think.

I know that, but what % of population cares about that rn?

But the point is that it's not THE app, just ONE app of many

Will take the other side of this everyday. Short term adversity for long term ecosystem growth.

There will be multiple popular Farcaster apps in the future, and it wouldn't make sense for one of them to be named "Farcaster".

Rebrand Farcaster as Cast Network?

“Join the Cast Network with Warpcast”

Does that solve for normies?

Yeah at first I was confused if Warpcast and Farcaster were the same thing

I was wondering how everyone on Twitter was calling it farcaster and I only knew it as warpcast

farcaster protocol might be used underneath hundreds of clients or apps

Ethereum and metamask are different names but we’re figuring it out I reckon
