I wish I could take my social graph on Farcaster with me to other places. Like if someone i trust bought a product im thinking about on Amazon, it’d be nice to see what they thought vs 1000 random reviews. Or if I want to hire somebody it’d be nice to know if I knew somebody who worked with them prior. Basically I want to bring the people I trust with me elsewhere on the internet

I re-read the OG post on the dead internet theory. Such a prescient piece for January 2021. The average internet page has gotten 10 times worse since then. If you are in worried about the dead internet, you have to be rooting for what Network School is doing with Farcaster. They are actively taking a stand on what is is not tolerated. You can't have a radical free speech approach to your social network and not expect large-scale, deliberate efforts to manipulate the culture on your users. You need to have a stance and actively exclude the people/bots that don't align. If Farcaster succeeds, people will look back on this moment similar to how we do Brian Armstrong telling the woke mob at Coinbase to get lost.
