social

surprised i'm only seeing the Flashes announcement now, but v cool to see decentralized social's value prop of "access to a built-in audience" and "reach a wider audience [beyond the app]" in TechCrunch.

another value prop: "instead of being trapped by an algo, access custom feeds or curated feeds from artists"

Yes, the notion of “building on top
of things” is a really powerful seed to plant in folks’ heads, who are seeking more open alternatives to traditional social media

I’m no on Bluesky at all but I’m wondering if WC or any big WC users has any presence there? Is WC actively trying to bring Bluesky users over like we have done with X?

I use Bluesky in addition to X. It’s interesting, if a little clunky feeling at times. Definitely a bit of a political echo chamber, but, increasingly, so is X

How do you find Bluesky compared to Farcaster so far? Content and functionality-wise

There’s a lot more political and general content, a lot less crypto and technical stuff than here. A lot of journalists migrated there from X. The app is slower and clunkier and more basic.
