I have a pretty high tolerance for edgy humor as well as controversy and confrontation but Twitter/X has become an absolute cesspool since Elon Musk took over. The platform is almost like another Stormfront at this point and is full of racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, homophobia and all manner of insipid and hateful commentary masquerading as wisdom. For all the faults that Twitter had before it has become magnitudes more unpleasant and chaotic. Part of my attraction for Farcaster is the idea of finding a “frontier” where new community can be built on a more solid basis and the mistakes of the past can be avoided. So far I have appreciated the positive attitudes and interactions of people I have encountered and think it shows promise for building a more socially and politically beneficial platform for discourse. https://x.com/sohrabahmari/status/1810612672733327709?s=46

What do you think needs to be done for farcaster to retain these properties as it grows?

Although there will inevitably be complications as a community hopefully grows, one thing that gives me optimism in Warpcast is the broader range of possible positive interactions users can have with each other on the platform. On X you can only post and your relationships go as deep as that, but tipping and other “actions” hold the promise of creating thicker social ties that people would be less willing to squander by behaving anti socially. So far on a small scale it seems to be working.
