We urgently need a native social layer for the internet.

It must be a protocol, it can't be a company.

I wrote about the different ways that Nostr and Farcaster are trying to achieve this.

Farcaster and Nostr both want to address this issue, and approach it from different design philosophies and with different tradeoffs. https://i.imgur.com/1QUIk3I.jpg

Those who want a moderated social media experience, and those who want censorship resistance aren't at odds at all.

In fact, their goals are perfectly aligned.

They are noticing different real failures in the way social works today.

I really like your l1/l2 analogy. In protocol/bluesky design, they also have something similar where users' data sovereignty(l1) is separated from their 'reach'(l2). Does this require an easy way to cross post from and to l1 and l2?
