At Farcon Rome last May, Rish (CEO of Farcaster steward Neynar) talked about composable social. On Farcaster, like on other platforms such as Telegram, mini apps are a thing. These are apps that run in the client you use for your social networking. There are games, shows, coin launchers, wallet cleaners, long-read apps, art creation apps, middleware apps and the list goes on. Additionally, Farcaster launched snaps: interactive posts. Short-lived single-purpose applications. From polls to tip jars to collaborative poetry creation tools to a full-blown minesweeper variant that can be played in the feed. Sure, there is a risk management element to this. And of course that needs to be taken seriously. But still, composable social is something that has a future. Especially with AI enabling all of us to create something fun or useful in a few minutes. So why is this functionality missing from Bluesky and Mastodon at the moment? Or am I missing something? arkeshare

Social thrives by attention. Not the attention of likes, but the attention given to creating a post, or to reading it and responding to it. When we do not measure this, even if we succeed, it may look like a failure. But finding one friend, on person who loves your art, one other interested in your nichiest of niche hobbies, or have a coffee with one person you met on a social platform, that, too, is success.
