What are other people's impressions of the difference between the cultural vibe in farcaster vs bluesky vs mastodon vs lens? (I have my own answers but am very curious what other people's answers are)

farcaster: tech ppl literary cafe – interesting discussions, can feel a bit serious bluesky: tech ppl open mic comedy club – interesting discussions but can be drowned out by bad stand up acts lens: convention center but no one knows what the convention is about mastodon: haven't used in years πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Farcaster: more thoughtful than your avg crypto community yet somewhat insulated from greater reality Bluesky: decent but lack of strong cohesive communities Mastodon: strong communities that are very allergic to new ideas and change Lens: zero real community

Ofc everyone's feed will be different but I'm seeing so much anti-Twitter sentiment on Threads. In comparison, Farcaster never felt anti-Twitter but instead a small (for now) corner of builders and tinkerers in tech.

Fairly obvious: the average Farcaster user is more technically educated than Lens users, typically hacker-type (in the domain-agnostic sense of β€œhacker”, i.e. includes designers with a lot of energy and build-in-public mindset) and conversational (that’s rewarded here) BlueSky is more like a blog-focused Twitter

A good way to think about them new socials BlueSky: MSNBC Threads: Bravo Twitter: Fox Mastodon: public access Lens: channel 838 on Dish! Farcaster: actual network layer provider!

β€’ farcaster: US-centric hackernews and web3 mix. good atmosphere and energy, interesting people to follow but sometimes it feels like i'm reading linkedin motivational pieces ("success is a choice") β€’ bluesky: feels like where the average twitter refugee goes, just shooting shit and having a laugh. hype centric

I'd say culturally mastodon and farcaster are similar as in the users care about some level of decentralization/independence and they don't care much about influence and reach. BlueSky seems to be mostly verified Twitter refugees. Lens has attracted "the bad part" of crypto such as token farmers.

I think the initial wave of users sets the tone. It’s a sort of network effect. It can change over time (early Twitter was very different from Twitter a few years later) but once a tone is set that is the vibe that new users will see.

farcaster - upstream of cryptotwitter. quickest to translate ideation to deployment bluesky - "web4" twitter on new wave federation. some public figures that "are hip" mastodon - the underdog flagship(s) of "OG" federation lens - optimistic dispatcher for web3 creators, tokenized & DeFi adjacent
