I'm still trying to figure out the culture of Farcaster. It seems very laid back here. Shorter posts (despite a longer character limit!), more chill. People just posting about their day. Few seem to be worried about "making every post good". For this reason, casts get a lot more replies than other platforms. It feels more conversational. Also, the vibes are strongly wholesome and positive. Almost suspiciously so. How have I not seen someone seriously disagree with someone else yet!? It reminds me a bit of Something Awful's BYOB forum circa late 2000s. On the downside (for me), there seems to be a lack of serious intellectual rigor. Take the image below: not much new is being forged here, philosophically.

Yeah definitely more wholesome than Twitter or Reddit – although I’d say generally the larger the account the less spicy the posts (fortune cookie theory), so keep following new people! There’s definitely some beef but it’s often intra-Farcaster stuff instead of broader cynicism
