What's something you're frustrated with re: Farcaster?

(I'll only ask clarifying questions / I won't argue with you.)

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

That by default, notifications spam you with memecoin tickers and trending coins like some casino. Makes it impossible to recommend to normy friends.

have you onboarded normie friends and got that feedback? would love to chat with them

fwiw, some of my non-crypto friends called it tacky and tasteless and too casino-y for what they’re looking for in a social app experience so i’m coming at it from a place of understanding

I have not, tbh FC has already felt a bit crypto heavy to try even before the tickers. I know it's a bit of a chicken/egg problem, and I think it makes sense to nail the niche first, but the default ticker notifs felt like the niche would come at the cost of the rest

Many friends have already switched to bsky/mastodon too, and it's tricky to come up with the case for FC without going full cypherpunk and getting into decentralization nuance. How do you approach that chat?
