What's preventing you from inviting more people to Farcaster?

Comments in this thread illustrate how splintered the web has become.

People have friends in multiple tribes. Tribes don't agree with each other, despite the existence of members that belong to both. Networks form tribes.

Orthogonal dimension: "Passive" (consumptive) vs "active" (algogrinding) usage of social media.

Sometimes I wonder if people don't realize the extent of how crypto's reputation is absolutely 𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒅 outside crypto circles.

Large overlap with the "AI sucks" people. However, that one will fade as AI has obvious use-cases for individuals and groups which don't require network effects to be successful. AI will succeed and the "AI sucks" people will be seen as luddites, path-independently.

Crypto however - at least the originally-intended version as democratized peer-to-peer money - can only succeed with network effects going its way. Same goes for a network like Farcaster, where we can see from this thread that crypto's reputation is a large reason why folks aren't being invited here.

Trust and reputations are difficult to rebuild. I worry it may be too little too late.

The scenario I fear most is the one where crypto is relegated to boring settlement backend tech for tradfi, providing none of its promised self-sovereignty benefits to individuals.
