had a shockwave of a feeling yesterday when @six made similar comments to mine regarding the obsolescence of following (which, in my case, dan predictably contested vehemently and did not yield an inch). maybe the founders of farcaster are just too boomer to invent a social media that excites young people.

product @seedclub. i host S-TIER @ X Spaces & i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

Engineer @ Syndicate, prev: Rainbow, Foundation & Cloudflare /poetic-web, builds caststorage.com

i would search my own casts for “follow” and “tiktok” to find it. basically just that follows are a secondary engagement indicator in a post tiktok world. farcaster design is based on a pre recommendation paradigm that ig and pinterest had already eroded before tiktok even appeared on the scene and definitively changed the game

Do you have a link to your original cast? What would you do if not follow?

Devs voted for Followers not Amps.

It might be a part of the process yk. They’re definitely boomers but I’m a young person and farcaster excites me; what I know it can become excites me(or maybe I’m just boring)
