Farcaster

1/ On Farcaster growing and "changing"

When we talk to developers, the number one thing they want is retained user growth.

When we talk to early users, they don't want to lose the cozy feel of the network when it had fewer than <10K users.

the changes that come with growth are necessary for Farcaster to be sustainable (which is something i very much want)

however it's best to dispense with the delulu that the kind of intimacy that exists/existed here is possible at scale which i think is mostly what the 'farcaster used to be different' ppl are saying

https://supercast.xyz — have fun on farcaster

backend eng; full-stack curious

writer, icon, retired rave queen

these facts are not in dispute! 

but culture > tech/features, and the shift to content from community was palpable some time ago

'Farcaster is different now than it was pre 10-k and that's better for some people and worse for others' imo is not a controversial conclusion to draw

And what I'm saying is the people are still here and you can easily build features into clients like @super or an open source one that allows you to retreat into a smaller space.
