🌶️ The problem here isn’t that Highlights and Following tabs are in the wrong order, it’s that there are basically no good posters on Farcaster. 

Scrolling through What’s Hot on Bluesky should be a wake up call to get more non-builders casting

I’ve seen a lot of “hot takes” that don’t seem so hot recently.

It’s weird.

The comparison game seems to take most by storm. There are different things at play that don’t require the same “poster” across all socials.

The “quality here vs there” is yesterday-years, rendering this take medium.

Comparison game matters if a) you believe in winner takes all dynamics and b) what we’re all trying to build here is the decentralized successor to the web2 “town square”

A protocol is going to win. I want it to be Farcaster. In this regard I think these conversations are existential because we’re in a race.

Posters and their content are the substrate for experimentation. 

The value in comparison is understanding what is and isn’t working to create the largest, highest quality surface area for builders’ experiments to be successful.

Comparison has its own value, I just don’t find any value in comparing BS, FC, Lens, etc. , especially based on just posters, when there is so much real estate to experiment for decentralized social to create composable vertical stacks that allow engagement to happen in radically different ways if builders choose.
