A question I’m pondering: Farcaster is a product-led protocol, but is Warpcast the right product? Twitter is the smallest of all at-scale social networks. Although Twitter-fans will tell you it has outsized status for its size, it’s never been able to break 1B users. What would Farcaster look like if Warpcast was modeled after Instagram or TikTok? How would that affect protocol priorities and roadmap?

To be clear, I’m glad Warpcast is modeled after Twitter. I’m primarily a wordcel and Twitter was my main social network before Warpcast. But none of my offchain friends use Twitter. Instagram is still the gorilla and revealed preference is that most people prefer images to text content.

My guess it would be less likely to bring people on board. What makes it special here is that Farcaster is built on an on-chain base where building on it is for everyone . No one is really interested in new social media right now. I think what is there is enough, but people are wants something new and for something that brings them more profit or build a community on. >>best place for communities to gather and share thoughts is here<<

I think even the framing might be us aging out. Instagram seems to become increasingly faded by the TikTok generation, just as FB was before. As to the broader point, I wonder if your offchain friends use Reddit? Or is Instagram the king still.

@baubergo-
interesting you pointing this out because this cast just happened today and I think it makes A LOT OF SENSE to bring those here (like a mix of all socials together) https://warpcast.com/six/0x496ed682

i'm a twitter fan as well & never cared for IG. I wonder how ur frens are using those platforms as Twitter seems to be closest for engagement and not doom scrolling. Do we think the majority of folks out there would rather ingest content vs connect and that's why the other platforms have the DAUs?

I feel the same way. If warpcast were like Instagram or TikTok, I probably wouldn't have participated. Could we eventually see a situation where Warpcast and Zora are interconnected, creating a fusion of Twitter and Instagram-like features...?
