noticing more and more brand accounts (and people) use Twitter/X's blog feature, presumably because they kill links

still feels wrong to me

That's because it is. Intellectual conversations are all about sharing sources. That's why 70% of Nature readers (hardcore scientists) on on BlueSky. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00177-1#:~:text=Seventy%20per%20cent%20of%20Nature,since%20the%20November%20US%20election.

I don’t think that will happen in the short-mid term unless the GtM and ethos of the Warpcast as the main driver changes. It’s a great protocol, but Warpcast has a bad GtM execution imo if it wants to grow “in the real world”.

Academics usually like to share content and ideas leaving money aside. Bluesky fits 100% this ethos, it really feels like the early timea of Twitter, on the other hand Farcaster is focused a lot on money and earning. And people talk a lot about things that may seem irrelevant or even out of this world for the average citizen.

Besides that, Farcaster has a problem of being too niche (Web3-centric, male, white, 35-50’s). It’s not so welcoming when you join it, unless you feel good in that environment. Bluesky (already with 30M users) feels much more diverse.
