What do people think of the idea that Farcaster might be *too polite*? Like, people love to rail against the toxicity of twitter, but ultimately it's a PvP MMORPG and lots of people really enjoy the PvP - if not participating, then at least seeing some fireworks in the background...

I think the politeness is a side effect of there not bring significant conflict fault-lines, which in turn is due to the crypto-positive self-selection filter. Correlates with a lot else.

Twitter often feels like toddlers fighting over toys in preschool whereas Warpcast feels like adolescents participating in the Harkness method at high school. I’ll opt-in to the one that’s more conducive to learning, although it could use a little more spice.

I keep thinking one group that wouldn't feel "as at home" on FC are the MEV crew, despite a blockchain native platform potentially being a better fit. Not that they are "impolite", but there def seems to be something there. Not as much of an "anon-discord" vibe, for better, or worse :)

Right now Farcaster is small. The social norms we establish today will inevitably be diluted when the protocol opens to the public.

Is this about seeing more disagreement in discussions or about seeing emotions flare?

Maybe! Content creators like yourself could get more (valid) criticism from Twitter and more (positive) thoughtful feedback from Farcaster, and it’s good to get both! Want to be able to cross-post to both next week with the Farcaster client @yup? If so DM me

Reframe… what do people think about Farcaster having found a way to slay Moloch? As a broader community we’ve been inundated with bad actors who were quick to toxicity to get their short term gains at the cost of our long term success. Farcaster is the one place I am not constantly being invited to a rug pull.

I believe there have been some scathing take downs on this app and at the same time they are nuanced and thoughtful. There are fewer trolls, and I have not felt shitposting bots have a place. And still, polite != not contentious.

I confess I’ve seen a lot of stupid opinions and bad takes on FC and I seem to be less inclined to point it out here than Twitter. Maybe the size of the audience makes it more intimate and at the same time less worth calling out knowing that millions aren’t going to see it.

I love kind people that are willing to help each other. I'd see this as a differentiator for FC at least for the time being. Lean into it!

It’s because it’s still a very close niche network and no one wants to offend anyone It’s more like a super size focused telegram group than a public forum
