I’m excited to be part of this transformation with @mbd an @a16zcrypto/CSX_company founded by ex-AWS data scientist @yassinelanda.eth, exploring ways to empower individuals by enabling them to build their own algorithms and social feeds.

With the emergence of platforms like @farcaster from @dwr.eth, we’re witnessing the rise of alternatives that give users more control over their feeds and interactions.
