Great read on the state of decentralized social by @df Enjoyed the opportunities section in particular as it's given me a lot to think about. The closing thoughts are a good summary but it's well worth the full read: "Farcaster got more things right than any crypto social project before it. The team was world-class. The product was genuinely good. And still, it wasn't enough. That's the brutal reality of building networks: you can do almost everything right and still not win. The timing, the market, the network effects—sometimes they just don't converge. To the builders still in the arena: the problems are hard, but they're worth solving. Decentralized social isn't dead, it's just a hard problem that we haven't solved yet, and AI is accelerating our ability to experiment and try new solutions."
