A social app like Farcaster can benefit from building a culture of more generous “like” giving. As it scales, a user with 10% as many followers as they have on Twitter might find they get 2x as many likes on Farcaster if people here give likes 20x as often as they do on Twitter per # of tweets/casts viewed on each.

This has been roughly my experience on Farcaster btw, so it’s a compliment to the culture.

An assumption of my point here is that basically all else equal people will gravitate towards the social apps where they get the most engagement and positive reinforcement — likes, RTs / recasts, etc., as distinct from views

+1. I see that already happening with follows (with @dwr.eth leading by example). On Twitter, it seems people really care about their followers/following ratio. Don't feel it too much here.

I’m always smashing that like button all the way down my feed. 

Then again there is a lot of very interesting things here vs the two things trending on Twitter that everyone has to post about
