ted life tip: if you want to use the internet in a way that is most likely to add to your overall wellbeing, approach it as a social *network* and NOT social *media*.

the social network approach cares about replies, DCs, URL-to-IRL meetings, ongoing convos

the social media approach cares about views, likes, followers

I started replacing Twitter/X with WC this week and this is by far the biggest shift I’ve noticed both in my own focus and what the community at large prioritizes.

Twitter is a theater where everyone performs for digital points. Farcaster feels much more like an honest extension of real life.

agree with you! also i notice people speak more seriously and authentically here than on twitter.

i always respected @gaby on Twitter/X because she is fun AND she spoke seriously about our industry. i see FC as an extension of this tone.

it is easy to memespeak. it takes courage and vulnerability to speak seriously.

you make X (and everywhere) a brighter, more thoughtful place. 🤍  just wish you'd crosspost here more often :)
