Why would journalists/reporters who have built large Twitter audiences (100k+ followers) move to Farcaster? (short answer: it has become too toxic!) Read about Rana Rahimpour, formerly the lead presenter with BBC Persian https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-64222261 Rana was effectively trolled/harassed off Twitter.. simply for doing her job! There are many such cases of journalists/reporters that have opted to self-censor, halting their Twitter usage These are people who have mastered the art of communicating in a succinct, text-based, participatory format They have loyal followers that will migrate with them to new platforms/protocols

if at a media company, they can monetize their content at the individual level on top of their existing pay from whoever they work for wonder what companies will say about this lol the best ones will realize it’s an advantage to keeping their best talent and not worry about it at all 😏

Twitter has just become one large MAGA platform and harassment is rampant. Elon pushing divisive shit everyday stokes the fire from top.

what needs to happen here in terms of user experience to enable them to have less harassment? I assume some trolls will move plattform as well and certainly at 100x size it becomes an issue for the clients (protocol will still have all of it)
