Farcaster is unique out of all the alt-socials because it caters to the very small slice of folks who think Elon’s doing a Great Job with X and also for some reason want an alternative The other platforms can leverage disgust for what X has become for growth

I'll toss in one more vote for "lol definitely don't think Elon is doing a great job", but also I think Farcaster is small enough that it feels like people here have enough of a likeminded overlap on *something* that we're willing to give each other the benefit of the doubt.

yeah I feel this for sure. Plus, it's kinda like, it's his ship to burn and I have a backup. But you're a fool if you count Elon out

Yea, I'm not mad at his changes. I am mad at twitters founders for making it a captured component of culture, for destroying all decentralized aspects of it, killing third party clients etc. It was a matter of time. It's a matter of time until someone else takes over too, if it continues to have value.

But as Dorsey has said, it needs to be decentralized from the beginning

Dorsey said a lot of things, I don't believe a single word out of his mouth. During his tenure he has consistently said one thing and did the opposite.

I fully believe that even if it was decentralized from the beginning (as many campaigned for it, remember al3x getting ousted over it?) that Dorsey/Williams/etc would have captured it and centralized it.

As someone who has built several third-party Twitter apps and then got rugged hard on multiple levels, I've been very upset at Twitter for a long time. It's hard for me to take people seriously who say Elon is somehow worse 🙃. It all converges to the same place when you have people who aren't subtractive in nature.
