I'm only using Farcaster until Lens gets its shit together.

web3 citizen and Open Source Software enjoyer

Would love for you to expand on that thought. I’m very sympathetic to it.

Lens V2 really made me more open to the design of that protocol than I had been before. Before it was too focused on chain transactions and nfts which felt excessive. I loved Farcaster’s hub approach more. Especially with the ideas going into the design of Lens V3, I continue to be intrigued.

The problem for now is the culture over there is lacking. It’s like Farcaster 9-12 months ago or Zora right now, where people are just farming out shitty crypto-referential content in the hopes of making money.

Ultimately network effects are what’s important so I’m of FC because there’s a lot of cool people here. Though I’m sure we share concerns over those guiding the project.

Interested in hearing the arguments for lens vs. farcaster

Bookmarked this because it made me chuckle. Also because I’m interested.

Lens isn't made by a bunch of angry divorced dads who alienate their userbase?

And it's actually a web3 app (composable, user-owned profiles, typical custody norms, delegation, etc), and not a "crypto" app that's merely using a web3 audience to bootstrap DAU until they get their Twitter clone right and sell it to a big tech company for $$$$$
