We're shutting down the x-posting experiment. For a few months, we've been testing a feature with a few users to cross posts their tweets from X to Farcaster. We're shutting it down because we can't get it to work reliably with the current APIs, and when it fails it's really frustrating for users.

Difference in content types make this really hard to work 100%. It's also not achieving the goal of increasing conversations. People who x-post don't use the app any more frequently. People who see x-posts are les likely to engage because the content isn't authentic to FC.

Our view (at least for now) is that x-posting will not work to scale Farcaster. While it might work for social media type apps that are primarily about content consumption, Farcaster is about conversations and a x-post without a presence on the app isn't that meaningful to other users.

Do you see "Farcaster is about conversations" as a long-term goal, or as only a current focus for scaling purposes?
