Farcaster

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.

i like these framings, and i believe we haven't seen a frame that will arise when people start using different fids for different apps. do i want to be @jpfraneto.eth in all of my interactions with the elements that the farcaster protocol enables? of course not 

(and im not talking about alts or brand accounts. i refer to client specific fids, which we haven't seen at scale yet - and that would showcase the value of farcaster as a lego block provider to build awesome apps that involve human-to-human or human-to-bot or bot-to-bot interactions)
