Bluesky has an inspiring vision that makes people of all backgrounds want to join. What is Farcaster’s?

I don't think Jay Graber would describe it this way but it seems the community views it as an escape from musk and zuckerberg that has a credible path to decentralization.

i think you're half right (i don't think 99% of the community understands or gives a single shit about decentralization) also i'm not sure if just being an escape from musk/zuck will get people to stick decentralized social is kind of in a rough spot because today's iterations don't meaningfully solve the problems with social today and hence has little to offer to convince people to join

sorry, that's actually totally off topic the message is definitely "come here to escape from the billionaires", which is better than nothing and has decently wide appeal. farcaster lacks a message with appeal beyond devs

They might not get excited about “decentralization” specifically but i think nearly everyone understands it’s really problematic for single individuals to have immense unchecked power over social networks that we’re spending more & more of our time on.

@adam-
Decentralization is hard for the average person to understand/care about. The language that resonates over on Blue Sky is “anti billionaire controlled social platform”. In fact it resonates so much, you have grifters taking advantage of those people with go fund me driven mission statements
