It’s pretty incredible how good people are at sniffing out resource scarcity and “status” markers People absolutely speedrunning the: “whoa Farcaster is pretty cool” ⬇️ “wait why don’t I have an active badge” ⬇️ “kill Dan and everyone he puts on the auto-follow list” cycle rn

Yeah these critiques mostly reflect a deep misunderstanding of the opinionated design vector here. Plenty of other places to go if you’re eager to be a product. But yeah elitism flywheels are one thing I don’t like either even though I’m on the privileged side of that mechanic

I'm less interested in the design angle here, and more in description of connections between client design and new user experience. doubt the users I hear voicing similar concerns about in-group/out-group dynamics would describe themselves as wanting to be a product, they want to be here, but don't feel 1/2

welcomed or like there is space for them (two common things I'm hearing from new users in DMs) in a network where most people use a dominant client, and there aren't many people, the impact of existing user culture has a big, big effect on new user experiences
