I've stated a few times that I think Elon buying Twitter messed up Farcaster's anti-censorship, anti-institution value prop and they've struggled to find their footing ever since. Culturally both are very aligned with our current technocratic overlords too so the vibes are pretty much the same which is why there's no attempt at Blusky style outreach when people bounce from X. Team has financial incentives to not ostracize themselves from all kinds of things involving Elon, which is why there's no criticism, even though X is ostensibly a competitor. Is what it is but the big question is where do they go from here? Now that they've been paid via secondary on that big raise my guess would be some kind of acquisition? From X? Coinbase?

But X is now a cesspool of hate. At least I haven’t seen that here yet. But yes, the adoption of this platform is clearly not there yet.

that's because currently this is like the linkedin version of twitter so people don't post hate, they just post cringe

This is like a clicky niche platform. There is no mass adoption occurring here and the channel changes set FC back in that regard greatly.Gatekeeping like club bouncers and being removed from channels where value and progress were thriving and then not being readmitted will never lead to growth in this realm. Thats what happened and continued to happen. The lack of progression in personal feed engagement is not indicative of the positive interaction experienced here. Hard sell to newbies. Clicky and niche is the overall opinion of FC and verbiage used from the outside. First hand research shows. It appears that is what’s desired here. If it’s not changes should be implemented to show that. I enjoy FC for being niche. Can’t be everything and do any of it well. Identity crisis needs to be dealt with to grow. Brutal honesty.
