@dwr.eth I think the exit energy on twitter is extremely high rn… highest I’ve ever sensed. And more importantly notes and bluesky are locking down some big subcultures. Any plans to onboard a lot more people? Wondering if there’s a highly crypto friendly crowd that could be onboarded wholesale.

Generally skeptical of mass exodus -- the reversion of the mean + a little bit higher from the Mastodon moment happened in January. I'm always happy to give invites and we're working on getting to permissionlessness for sign ups, but I suspect the biggest issue is people say they are leaving Twitter and then don't.

I think you’re underestimating the effect of a critical minority taking certain kinds of content off twitter even if they stay, influencer dynamics unraveling, etc. Twitter will rely increasingly on narrower kinds of low-value content and suffer more debilitating nutritional deficiencies.

It’s not either or. People will be in multiple places. It’s what share of their posting content you get.

Possible, but I suspect TPOT is anti-crypto enough that Farcaster won't be in the running in the near-term. We have to win on net new behavior / only on Farcaster stuff vs. be the best Twitter clone. And as for EVM ecosystem, I've personally video onboarded several hundred people but revealed preference is Twitter.
