farcaster is as based as bluesky is cringe

This morning scrolled through my Bluesky feed to see what was going on. It might be a few bad apples, but another possibility is that it is people intentionally trying to sabotage the network because they want it to fail. I won't be surprised to see this attempted on Farcaster too.

Answering the question "where's the beef?"

They are inviting specific subgraphs of people knowing already who they are likely to invite. First you get tpot to show up and code apps, then you get the in-fighters to show up and make federated communities. A lot of the cringe just exists to nudge people toward finding their own communities.
