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

The platforms are so different in how they gain my interest. Both are powerful and relevant. Both have aspects in which each is better. Elon Musk restored the powerful voice of free speech where anyone from anywhere can present their take as long as simple rules of respectful engagement are followed. I think Farcaster should concentrate on being the best Farcaster possible, and find a niche of interoperability that compliments yet sets apart. To try to compete or compare is not a position with high probability of victory. For any platform. The dude is landing two rockets at once for Gods sake. Let’s be honest. What’s coming next will be eye opening to say the least 👀. I mean um …I reckon 😉

But he doesn’t care at allabout people being respectful on the platform? Have you seen the the vitriol on there? I’ve been on Twitter / X since 2008. It has not improved, unfortunately

I respect your opinion and tenure. Ive multiple accounts for years, different experience. shadow banning was rampant before. Connects there I value and enjoy, feel closer to my friends here. Options which steer our engagement uniquely. I’m a truth seeker, have thick skin, not easily offended and honest. I seek constructive debate with opposite opinions to discover why. To learn. Most don’t do that. I found a big opportunity networking on X currently, a sponsorship deal if closed will be monumental. I’ve met attractive fun girls IRL from X aiding a positive outlook. Fun. Bottom line X is and will be the world’s town hall. Tate just gave away a $250k lambo live. Dude was stoked. Fun! All cryptos on X, ETH here. FC to share photos and art, experience new tech, support artists and friends worldwide and each platform appeals to me. SM biz opps are on IG for me tbh. 100k plus view reels + 5000 likes = mass opportunity = $$. I don’t feel hate tho or let it affect me. My best wishes 2 you 💪🏽🤙🏽
