it’s not about content or people…

those are two sides of the same coin & we don’t get more of those coins until the ecosystem & frame hub materialize & the flywheel backfills

we already used up our allotment & they left

so it’s no longer about people or “interesting content;” it now about good tech that captures attention & spins outward into a meta

then more people come; THEN we get more content 

i don’t know why we continue to look at a crypto-native social-first platform as a “social network that normal people are going to use one day”

they are not & it is not; it’s a CRYPTO-NATIVE PLATFORM that is social-FIRST; NOT social as a core value prop

it’s about crypto, devs, tech & markets

that much is made abundantly clear right from the sign-up funnel & as result, 90%+ of normal people will never cross that bridge

further the 10% that do will immediately get hit with suggested follows… who are all crypto people… so if crypto is not their cup of tea, they are done day 1

great thread, full of radical candor.

agree on many things mentioned about FC
'it’s about crypto, devs, tech & markets'
'devs should NEVER churn from fc; every dev in the space SHOULD WANT to be here'

fwiw i discovered @itsbasil's thread via the warpcast rewards frame, so some things are working 🙃

definitely, there's many potential surface areas for discovery.
but leaderboard is cool because reputation, incentives and social capital are a natural draw for most people.

agree that’s not nothing. however a leaderboard is not the best  discovery surface no
