Lately, I've been more active on Bluesky (different topic, different anon), and it's growing pretty fast. Given Elon has oriented Twitter towards anti-intellectualism, certain communities have moved wholesale already, particularly academia related. It's basically just Twitter without the bloat, but slower still... Farcaster is more interesting to me, but Bluesky has won the attention game - no one knows Farcaster exists outside the niche crypto crowd.

interesting insight. still forming my own thoughts after reading it.

given merkle’s stated plan is for farcaster and warpcast to win crypto first, the last sentence in theory means that it is going according to plan.

Farcaster Fridays

While other social networks are hyperoptimizing the "screaming into the void" experience, Farcaster builds communities that bleed into real-life connections.

I haven't in-person met as many online-people since early the ~2009 era of Twitter and SXSW. I've missed this.

Perhaps this is how crypto wins.
