Whatever utopia people envision and latch on to, none are above bickering and infighting. At large, people get high on concepts, and out of ignorance let it clout their judgement and inflate their ego. Double so when money is involved. No iteration of the web, or technology is going to change that. Or in other words, this kind of petty drama was inevitable.

There are two games at play here, and Farcaster was ahead on one and failed at the other. The first is experimentation and implementation. The second is a wide active user base. Farcaster excelled at the first, as is evident by its adoption by legacy platforms, but has, and continues to struggle with the second. If the goal is for the tech to succeed above all, then delayed implementation elsewhere is still a form of victory. If the goal is to have it on different terms, then not so much. Iāve come to accept that this place has incubated some incredible ideas, as well as improved on ideas popular elsewhere. ( I.e @neynar access on the timeline is a vast improvement over Grok IMO. Its responses are more detailed and has character without needing to default to an edgy response to get attention, unless you prompt it to do so.) Maybe Iām just content with this place being more of an incubator than a social competitor to larger competitors. Thereās less noise and better vibes. I donāt expect it to be a full replacement, but rather a place I still enjoy spending my time over alternatives for the time being. All of this stuff ebbs and flows, so who knows what the future holds. All I know is that if you can break away from the binary āweāre so back, itās so overā mentality, and curb your expectations, youāre going to have a better time.
