Farcaster

What are you frustrated with re: Farcaster?

I won't argue with you -- will just ask clarifying questions.

Will address the top issues in a cast tomorrow or Monday.

My biggest concern has been a Base monoculture. I get the initial cohort of users are all coinbase alum, but we really need become chain-agnostic imo.

Yes, bringing in more solana users, but also other chains. Perhaps collaborating with other chains for hackathons or whatever.

What makes you think this?

Hmm if I'm incorrect, I believe this is the perception

My main point being that I believe there ought to be a push to become more chain-agnostic in terms of culture. Atm it's base-dominant by far and this pushes people away if they don't main Base.

My point is more about the culture opposed to what's technically possible I guess

I don't really follow the blockchain space that much these days. What are folks building on top of other chains that they can't just easily plug into FC? Is it just that they aren't active on Farcaster? If so, why?

I get having less support for Solana and other non-EVM chains but all EVM chains should just work on FC.

Might be a marketing issue?

big quotecast energy. building @privy. all the web3 ops things since 2018.

even outside of crypto, canon events happen on X. when sama was ousted from OpenAI, it felt like the town hall was on X and in the Tartine in the Mission, with him tweeting cryptic shit about his next move, and it made the feed addicting

Farcaster needs a moment like that where we all log in to see what people are saying. or maybe that is not the goal, maybe I log on here to find local tips for my city and post cool beers I drank and play with cool mini apps. IDK!

Yeah there are a few big moments like this. And if it's mentioned here, you're usually attacked for mentioning anything positive about solana :P

its the perception and also the reality

when $TRUMP launched I checked Farcaster for hours and saw nothing in my feed about it..even after searching saw like no posts...that was a canon moment for me - like the LinkedIn meme where its like "can't wait til they find out about it in a week!"

ya. it’s frustrating bc there are large slices of the industry i haven’t been able to get to come to farcaster bc of base heavy over here. 

@cupojoseph - wdyt. you are an arbitrum guy. are your peoples here and if not why?

Come on let’s not kid ourselves this is a heavily blue coated environment and we’re only now seeing other communities find interest in it

yea ngl i assumed same, basically consider this a base social media atm largely
