Started on Blue Sky and Farcaster today. Spent very little time on the former and digging the latter. Taking notes on what make the difference

💯 while both have invite-only mechanisms, farcaster has very high-context communities of builders and curious minds, so feed feels authentic and inviting for engagement, while bsky feed right nows reminds me of blue bird with lots of strong opinions, hate, memes

Interesting, would love to hear those insights!

I found it harder to get a sense of the scene on Bluesky - felt too big. Was easier to latch onto the memes on farcaster, so i stuck around

Felt great to have someone introducing me to this engaging and tight-knit community 🙏 def relating to what you wrote in the essay!

One of my notes is blue sky suffers from the same algorithmic led performance syndrome of all the rest of thee og enshittified social platforms

They’re all a performance.

Whereas Farcaster typically more often rewards authenticity and real discussion

My bluesky feed is 90% of Neil Gaiman—which isn’t terrible.
