Farcaster reflection: The platform has organic norms of civility whereas Twitter for some reason has become a jungle full of wild apes. But it’s not an oppressive civility of the style of BlueSky.

Bluesky seems less weird now, but takes more Twitter-like work to achieve a less pure signal than Twitter (used to) provide.

Farcaster feels like it’s scaling towards something altogether different. Or will die trying.

In the end, I think FC and BS converge on similar outcomes.
