bad-takes

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

there’s a clear lack of conversation around the channels stuff on farcaster.
echo chambers are bad and we do a disservice to farcaster long term if we:

- always agree 100% with what @dwr.eth says and does / dont hold people accountable
- are afraid to speak out about things, specifically the larger accounts here

The person Dan engaged with was clearly acting in bad faith. I don't disagree with his response tbh.

I do think there is an interesting discussion around the "OG" accounts that have been gifted large platforms here.

In my experience they're lovely and thoughtful people. I'm happy to be here with them...

but many of these accounts are now being followed by the vast majority of users on the platform! This is not something you see in most networks. Not since Tom from MySpace maybe.

Size of platform + tenure here seem to be the leading indicators of influence at the moment, and there is a small group that dominate both.

I think they're capable stewards, but in the near term they are going to have an outsized impact on the culture and seemingly input into contentious decisions/product roadmap stuff. 

Not necessarily a bad thing, but it's interesting to watch it play out in these early days :)
