what are the implications for our emerging decentralized permissionless programmable purple social networking protocol

ppl have been saying this for years

group chats solve this problem to a large degree

Group chats are great but you have to already be included/known and there's no mobility for new users to enter them. Some combination of social feeds that funnel users to interest-based group chats in a hybrid fashion is my hope for the future

Man. Dog. Van. building things, surfing and playing disc golf

the core problem is a real one 

group chats are private + intimate, and feeds are public + unpredictable 

they're separate things, and they probably will stay that way

adding a rss style fc feed to a telegram group chat would be an easy thing to test

I tried to build something somewhat similar like 4 or 5 years ago, but without the social feed top funnel. Was just small, topic based group chats that were capped at 8 members. Now with FC I think it's more prime time, using the social graph to lead users into groups. But social is so hard. Having users is what attracts other users to join, but then there's a chicken and egg problem

there's never been an easier time to build it and don't really see it being built, but i would love to test it out!

it's super niche and not a meaningful improvement over existing apps
