My friend (a high school teacher) asked me what's different about Farcaster vs. Twitter.

I told her that she owns her data - as in when she deletes it, it's gone. In the case of Twitter, we don't really know if the data is gone. 

How would you explain Farcaster vs. Twitter to someone outside of web3?

a friendly place to connect with people who share your interests. no ads, no rage bait, no culture war shenanigans

all the data is open and free, similar to public infrastructure, so if the app you use stops working, you can find another one and all your posts and friend connections will still be there
