I want Farcaster to succeed as I think it is truly important for humanity to have a "global town square" based on a neutral protocol rather than a platform owned by a single company, or worse, a single person. Still, I keep switching my default behavior to post on Twitter, simply because I get ~10x more resonance on Tweets. I assume (at least in the crypto-Twitter world) I am not the only one in this situation. So maybe some form of vampire attack could work. Try to get at least 1,000 people from CT with >1,000 followers to commit x$ to post exclusively on Farcaster for 1 month. As soon as the 1,000 people are reached, the agreement kicks in and everyone should only post here. Those who break the agreement get "slashed," and the slashed money is distributed among those actually following through. WDYT?

Even if you manage to convince all of CT to switch, at best you have a fragment of Twitter. People still want to read about the election and other stuff and will just go back over time. Network effects are really strong. If you look at social networks there are really two paths to success: 1. Be early on a new technology wave that leads to media production (e.g. TikTok and mobile video) 2. Create a new social primitive that brings people together in a fundamentally unique way (snapchat and ephemeral content)

Do you think the month is sufficient for retention? Or will mercenary incentives just pamp it that month and then wash out once they end? Feels like TVL wars all over again

I wouldn't do the slashing part bc there's nothing for them to win, why would they stake ?

I'm also trying to commit more into more decentralised social network alternatives, especially after Twitter has become unusable for me. However, I wouldn't focus on high-following users to vampire attack, but rather on protocols, as that's what lead many to twitter in the first place. In addition to making it easier to incentivise and track vs individuals, I also feel that protocols will be less likely to pack their bags and say 'Okay, back to twitter we go' than individual users unless the service degrades REALLY significantly. In either case, happy to see so many big names trying to jump ship as well, can't wait to see whether we can reach social escape velocity ;D

really good post. seems you are seeking genuine feedback. i’ll provide it here since this has been bothering me re this platform. i joined relatively early (check my fid) at the prospect of decentralized social media (and all decentralization brings to this use-case). after a short period, i went tepid on fc. dwr is a major reason i’m meh can’t put my finger on it. it bothers me, but it’s real. he has done no harm to me. we have never had any interaction or conflict. but still. something about his energy, for me. this is dead-honest feedback.

This makes a lot of sense, so sometimes adoption is the hardest part for some.

In the long run, content creators will inevitably move to decentralized networks for financial reasons. As a creator, you deserve fair compensation for your time, and the system works far better when there’s no central entity profiting off your efforts. It’s only a matter of time before you’re here full-time, with or without boosting

I believe competitions with some stake behind are fun, rewarding and great in building a habit. This would be a great competition whether it’s about only posting on Farcaster; posting more or at least logging in daily. And yes, I’m in the same boat. I keep going back to Twitter and post my crypto takes there - even though I get more genuine engagement here & get triggered by BS posts there.
