Congrats on @woj.eth & super & Farcaster team! I would like to also remind that last year in Denver social house and Bkk Devcon @tbsocialist during our panel I’ve predicted many things like this. Twitter acquired the indie original mob dev team and bid for TweetDeck for the UberMedia ‘attack’ and killed all its open feature. This is the exact moment when Dorsey start to realize it’s inevitable - Twitter will be super centralized. I was a young kiddo journalist in that mad story of original blue bird app. This is also why we acquired Twidere try to learn from that time; also that’s why we help created official mastodon app as third party. I believe @dwr.eth and team are working hard and delivering. Also have huge respect to @stani.lens on insisting to ‘not own the client’. Question is - how can we (as a whole de-social community) prevent this Twitter tragedy from happening again? An open question. Maybe @vitalik.eth will have some insights.:)

I would say prio 1 should be to get something, ideally multiple things, other than twitter to be stable and successful across wide userbases. Bluesky is great, so so far it's strongly western-left-coded (at least, as far as I can tell). Farcaster is relatively niche. If we can organize as a community and get some alternative to succeed *once*, that itself serves as a demonstration: the network effect moat is not as large as they think, if we as a community have a strong enough reason we can overcome it, and if needed, we can do it again.
