Farcaster is unique out of all the alt-socials because it caters to the very small slice of folks who think Elonβs doing a Great Job with X and also for some reason want an alternative The other platforms can leverage disgust for what X has become for growth

imho, disgust in something far away is a recent luxury that we don't necessarily appreciate enough. the best social networks probably learn what a disgust/rage-bound local optima looks like, and steers away into more celebratory/imaginative vibes.

Tbh Iβm not sure disgust is right word either. Even if no disgust these ppl feel that harm of X outweighs benefit I think of social like a town square We donβt want screaming, horrible violence in our towns I think the calls for it in our digital towns βFC too niceβ are childish

feels like unknown territory, in a way. can a social network grow in multiple directions cohesively? what qualifies as nice/combative, or a secret, third thing?

Iβm not sure π€·πΌββοΈ I just know that on X I am now mostly too afraid to speak. I donβt have fun intellectual discussions there bc it not safe. Every post an opportunity for someone to eviscerate you. And I dislike the person it encourages me to be; dumb, combative, extremist, untrusting

agreed, I mostly use it for shouting into the void & random witticisms. ngl, that's exactly the same for bsky & discord. pretty much no "yes, and" compared to the ideal.
