Warpcast needs more content. That’s not a technical problem it’s a human problem — you just need more people naturally using the platform from all walks of life. They may be people you like or dislike but they and their interactions with each other make up the culture of the platform. The technical infrastructure is just like the physical infrastructure of a city, it’s there to facilitate what the people who choose to live there do. I never used the Twitter competitors like Bluesky because they just seemed to be the exact same thing as Twitter but intended to create an ideological ghetto for people who felt uncomfortable there. I prefer a messy mix of ideologies, cultures, and politics because that’s more fun and more intellectually challenging. Warpcast is worth migrating because unlike Bluesky it’s genuinely a different and superior interface for interacting with people. Now it just needs the people and I think it naturally would take off and become a mass platform if that is the goal.

Thanks! The challenge is very few people who already have audiences on Twitter want to switch (sunk cost). So you have to market to people not on Twitter...who would be good at Twitter. :)

I think you got me into it. The sunk cost issue is a real one; but I think if I self-appraise the motivation of getting a small but consistent and real economic reward to keep posting has been a really effective motivator. And then over time you keep doing that and you have accrued an audience that you feel motivated to keep posting for.

This is a very valuable insight. Right now the economic reward is inconsistent and hard to operationalize - i.e., at-will tips of obscure meme coins. I wonder if there is a more systematic (automated?) way of doing this. Maybe it should cost money to follow people, or something.

agree 100%. But payments is the farcaster killer app IMO. Just need to support more than just coinbase wallet.
