@dwr.eth Random question for you personally: I've been thinking more about qdau (big fan of this reframing). Hypothetically, if you discovered convincing data that qdau peaks at some active user size (let's say 100K) and reliably gets worse as that number grows. What would you do, or how would you think about it?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Currently: WhatsABI

Please share if you develop more thoughts later. My initial reaction is either we abandon qdau as primary metric, or focus on reorganizing how people interact at scale in hopes of finding a new path towards qdau sustainability. But part of me wants to believe that there are somekind of natural limits to these things.

I'd have to think about it. My initial reaction is TAM for qDAU for Farcaster is 1-10M people. But if you hit a critical threshold between 100K to 1M you probably start having creator / influence / people with audience-led growth
