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.

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.

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
