Learning in public is hard. The Socratic method failed me. This was not my goal. Context-containers will unlocking FC growth & keep dev in the ecosystem. App state > Global state FC is full of builders. Let’s keep builders adding value rather than seeing them spin-off into community sucking parasites that treat FC as an ’ad’ distribution network.

I just read through the cast This is not the first time a sight has been made like this FC is changing and when I look at it It's not apparently heading into the good direction yet

I have massive respect for this team. I hope that’s not lost in the back & forth. It becomes largely counterfactual to call out warnings from a year ago so I bark in the moment & see what lands. They will build what they want to build & I believe their intentions aren’t evil or overly extractive. There is no agency here. Devs are leaving & worse are sending a false signal of acceptance by using FC as an ‘ad’ distribution network. That’s the main issue atm. Devs are leaving. Reflecting on why doesn’t seem to be a priority. Making wc successful so that the rest will follow is sadly the m.o.

The primary reason devs leave is lack of user growth.

This is the only thing I care about rn No amount of developer legos will make up for growth stagnating

Disagree but this is not a surprise to hear. Your offering doesn’t attempt to grow new FC users. You’ve placed your bets. I’m not judging. I love buoy features. The notion that 🚾 must succeed for FC to thrive is an unfortunate mind virus. There are other approach’s that are not one app leads protocol dev

If you’re building your own social network why build on farcaster? There’s no incentive compared to building your own

A social graph w messaging is a feature in many different classes of apps far beyond an x clone. Why would I recreate a decentralize identify, verification, graph store & sync protocol when i ‘could’ use one off the shelf? The protocol could & should care less about the type of data we send it. Devs will use it. FC will grow exponentially.

The point is you don’t need to recreate decentralized identity, verification, graph store, sync protocol etc if you’re a founder that can attract users You’d build it the web2 way, because end users don’t really care about decentralization and there’s no point to be reliant on an L2 which adds more costs to user signup. The reason devs (read: founders) are on farcaster is the same reason they build on any other platform, like Facebook apps, Shopify, and the App Store: distribution

What's stopping people from doing that today? Hubs are pretty permissive in terms of what kind of data they accept? Is it just Warpcast showing non-channel FIP-2 content weirdly? If we hide non-channel FIP-2 content from Warpcast entirely does that unlock this?
