I'm still trying to figure out the culture of Farcaster. It seems very laid back here. Shorter posts (despite a longer character limit!), more chill. People just posting about their day. Few seem to be worried about "making every post good". For this reason, casts get a lot more replies than other platforms. It feels more conversational. Also, the vibes are strongly wholesome and positive. Almost suspiciously so. How have I not seen someone seriously disagree with someone else yet!? It reminds me a bit of Something Awful's BYOB forum circa late 2000s. On the downside (for me), there seems to be a lack of serious intellectual rigor. Take the image below: not much new is being forged here, philosophically.

idk much about coop but july is a very smart person and have discussed serious philosophical stuff at length on farcaster. Consider this post of his like a naval post - Looks shallow but only truly hits when you have enough experience. It is still a very simple post but not a shallow one. Also, yes there's drama here but it's more passive aggressive because the popular people here know each other. it is naturally hard to be down right insulting towards someone you have common connections/interests with. This will change as the network grows.
