Farcaster is unique out of all the alt-socials because it caters to the very small slice of folks who think Elon’s doing a Great Job with X and also for some reason want an alternative

The other platforms can leverage disgust for what X has become for growth

The Farcaster formerly known as Kchamp. Books, beats, bodybuilding, bright ideas and beautiful things.

I'll toss in one more vote for "lol definitely don't think Elon is doing a great job", but also I think Farcaster is small enough that it feels like people here have enough of a likeminded overlap on *something* that we're willing to give each other the benefit of the doubt.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

yeah I feel this for sure. Plus, it's kinda like, it's his ship to burn and I have a backup. But you're a fool if you count Elon out

The only problem is externality pricing.

Yea, I'm not mad at his changes. I am mad at twitters founders for making it a captured component of culture, for destroying all decentralized aspects of it, killing third party clients etc. It was a matter of time. It's a matter of time until someone else takes over too, if it continues to have value.

But as Dorsey has said, it needs to be decentralized from the beginning

Dorsey said a lot of things, I don't believe a single word out of his mouth. During his tenure he has consistently said one thing and did the opposite.
