Lol no this ain't it. THREAD: Let's get some facts straight here: I think by myself. I have been in crypto for a while. My first forays into crypto community were on Reddit. That was absolutely brutal. I am entitled to my opinion. Most of the people that interact with my posts here are men. I also have a sense of humor and LOVE shitposting - spend 3 seconds on my feed and you'd get it. I don't work on weekends unless super necessary. In fact, when i wrote that shitpost i was bleaching my hair and had 6 hours of free time and forgot to bring a book. Lens is for girls is just a meme, it just happens that our leadership is mostly women, and we have a lot of people from emerging countries including myself working on really hard problems - not only social, but defi and accessibility. We need more girl aligned messages on crypto, we just leaned into what we already are.

The truth is: there is little overlap between the Lens community and the Farcaster community. It just feels big because we are all loud. Lens is not a cozy crypto corner, Lens is for everyone. For app devs, it makes business sense to integrate BOTH protocols. This siding thing did not start with Lens either, check all the VC posts on decentralized social, very few include Lens, a protocol that has been building from 2021/22, live and that has been founded by a person that's done a huge contribution to crypto at large via Aave.

Another fact: the stakes are high for whoever manages to get the social layer. HOWEVER!!!! stakes are not that high for whoever gets a crypto native audience - we are not competing for it. Bluesky is onboarding an average of 900k users per month. Farcaster and Lens are so small. This "feud" is imaginary.

Couldn't agree more, lens also feels more mature.
