How to build your first 500 followers:


1. Bias toward replying
2. Bias toward genuineness
3. Bias toward follow-first


Putting these together: **Write a genuine reply to someone you find interesting, and follow the person at that exact moment.**

(Repeat ~1000x)

Couldn’t agree more. My cast to reply ratio is high. It suits me and supports having conversations and connecting with people which is what I want. I also think who cares about milestone of 500 followers? I like to think of this as social platform first, marketing and branding second.

icebreaker

In an interoperable world social proof should move beyond a followers number and /icebreaker is an example of extending this with other on-chain identify and attestations. 

More people seeing your thoughts is a by-product of your engagement and inputs if Warpcast/Farcast continue to have a sensible set of following/tracking features and discovery logic in discovery.

It’s not about chasing numbers — it’s just that having a not insignificant number of followers is desirable for two real reasons:

More people see your thoughts
More people take you seriously
