I've stated a few times that I think Elon buying Twitter messed up Farcaster's anti-censorship, anti-institution value prop and they've struggled to find their footing ever since. Culturally both are very aligned with our current technocratic overlords too so the vibes are pretty much the same which is why there's no attempt at Blusky style outreach when people bounce from X. Team has financial incentives to not ostracize themselves from all kinds of things involving Elon, which is why there's no criticism, even though X is ostensibly a competitor. Is what it is but the big question is where do they go from here? Now that they've been paid via secondary on that big raise my guess would be some kind of acquisition? From X? Coinbase?

disagree on vibes -- there's similarities but overall very different -- I see actual discussions here -- I mostly see dunking, fighting and shilling there. Past couple days, some of that ended up here but still overall much better here. I even saw a couple say they were feeling unsafe on twitter and would be spending more time here

I bet if it gets as much attention as X does it will become dunks and fighting too. I don’t see what prevents that coming with similar incentives + scale?

Probably true — just speaking about this moment now. Comparatively, FC. holding up much better this week than any other platform I’ve been on.
