I have some thoughts about the type of people who are best to help Farcaster grow. When it first emerged, Twitter was not trying to be a global source of news. It happened by organically when lots of people whom I'd call "news influencers" rather than journalists started using the platform for live updates, debates, and sharing information. I myself started accidentally doing reporting"while attending some anti-WTO protests and the Arab Spring as an ordinary curious observer debating people online and posting live updates. It was only after a large number of normie news junkies made Twitter a place where such conversations were happening that the stuffier and richer establishment types felt forced to join in. At that point Twitter became a "global public sphere" almost against its will. I still use Twitter and probably always will. But I think that other platforms can use the "news junkie effect" to create lively new public squares on the internet. A great city should also have more than one public square.

I think the best chance Farcaster has to grow is to nurture creators who may not be 'high level' creators yet but have the capacity to be. Essentially creating a new generation of 'influencers'. I consider myself one of these people as I've never had any type of audience before Farcaster. My X following is 209 LOL.

This. New voices. Voices that aren't beholden to the old paradigms. Ones who can enhance and grow the existing culture here rather than trying to port it from elsewhere. Organic growth during this phase is important, I think. Don't want to create a bubble that collapses the whole thing.

Yeah similar difference for my follow amount across Twitter and FC. Only 1k over there. I also post completely differently here than I do on X. Which I find interesting
