Bluesky has an inspiring vision that makes people of all backgrounds want to join. What is Farcaster’s?

That's fair. But its more narrow here. Almost all crypto degens and builders. And very heavily male.

Also fair. Bluesky is basically a copycat X for ppl who thought they'd escape republicans and find themselves a nice lil liberal echo chamber. There was a trigger event. I am guessing new sign ups and active users have plunged since and its mostly people with TDS hanging out there now but thats not data driven. FC has an adoption problem for sure. I agree its a lot of builders, which seems like a good thing to me. This is where innovation is happening and this place is basically an incubator. The crypto degens are still mostly on X. Every one of the ppl i know who also do the pump fun type of stuff left months ago bc they didn't get rich in a few weeks. Most days i don't even know what i am rooting for. I dont want this place to turn into X. I like the separation-one for news the other for vibes. But also know they need to grow. Difficult balance.

The growth rate has dropped but bluesky is still adding over 100k users per day. https://bcounter.nat.vg/ I agree their crypto hate will limit their ability to innovate, but are a lot of very talented devs there. ex: this guy led React development for years https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:fpruhuo22xkm5o7ttr2ktxdo

We will see. The main driver for activity there still seems to be TDS and a hatred for the most talented engineer on the planet. I don't care about the crypto hate, but it's certainly not a free speech platform and its mostly filled with people i think belong in a white padded room. But, to be fair, i have very limited exposure. I'm sure there are some good people there. But eventually I think the crazy will become too much. where do they even get their revenue? Do they have revenue sharing?
