Lately, I've been more active on Bluesky (different topic, different anon), and it's growing pretty fast. Given Elon has oriented Twitter towards anti-intellectualism, certain communities have moved wholesale already, particularly academia related. It's basically just Twitter without the bloat, but slower still... Farcaster is more interesting to me, but Bluesky has won the attention game - no one knows Farcaster exists outside the niche crypto crowd.

I understand it’s not great for a social network that wants to grow, but I also kinda like it that Farcaster is niche. It feels like we’re hiding somewhere out in the dark forest ;) It‘s a safe space.

Maybe decentralized social is also a diaspora to a range of protocols and platforms, sometimes overlapping or for different purposes, even with different identities, like you mentioned. Moving away from the central village square to a myriad of squares and dives and open spaces.
