In retrospect, decentralized social network has been terrible framing for Farcaster.

Two recent frames that are better:

1. Farcaster is an economy — social network + crypto wallets, small but high GDP per capita, h/t @woj.eth @luc 

2. Programmable social — X APIs are dead, Farcaster APIs are constantly getting better, h/t @six 

It's still (mostly) decentralized under the hood, but lean into the things that it's really good at relative to the competition.

Maybe there’s a way to combine both ideas into one narrative: an ecosystem (or economy) where users aren’t just consuming content but actively engaging through programmable tools. Decentralization is great for the tech-savvy, but the real value is in what it delivers to the end user.
