Farcaster feels great because it feels like a high quality sub-dunbar-number-community by default. Right now that's probably because it's invite-only

@dwr.eth if you can make Farcaster social circles sub-dunbar-number *opt-out* as it scales, would be v special

Oh, same thing as twitter 'communities' right?

I think Twitter Community is close but it didn’t develop its full potential. They lack the motivation and tools to cultivate a healthy community and more Twitter users like dunking than civil conversations of ideas.

Yes, it is the sad outcome of today’s SNS that relies on ads and have to optimize for attention. I think it is hard to be changed unless there is a viable  and big enough revenue model other than ads.

I agree. Unfortunately, dunking gets far more engagement compared with civil conversations - Would love to see software disincentives in-place for this.
