It’s pretty incredible how good people are at sniffing out resource scarcity and “status” markers People absolutely speedrunning the: “whoa Farcaster is pretty cool” ⬇️ “wait why don’t I have an active badge” ⬇️ “kill Dan and everyone he puts on the auto-follow list” cycle rn

Yeah these critiques mostly reflect a deep misunderstanding of the opinionated design vector here. Plenty of other places to go if you’re eager to be a product. But yeah elitism flywheels are one thing I don’t like either even though I’m on the privileged side of that mechanic

I'm less interested in the design angle here, and more in description of connections between client design and new user experience. doubt the users I hear voicing similar concerns about in-group/out-group dynamics would describe themselves as wanting to be a product, they want to be here, but don't feel 1/2

I think pay-to-use social from the ground up is an interesting experiment (unlike bolted on under severe debt stress as on X). It may not work out but it’s worth trying. And of course nobody will cop to wanting to be product. It’s a revealed preference if you carry over twitter expectations

I use twitter simply because there is a ton of discussion and content on topics that are barely ever touched here. if people talked about them here in the substance and depth they do on my non-crypto twitter feed. totally agree otherwise. worth trying, and important to think about on its own terms
