I’ve been casting for years about how I thought Farcaster had many of the prerequisites one would expect to see in an emergent network state type community.
Some of those casts are so old that when you click on one of them (see quoted casts in the quoted cast below), it fails to load.
While the founding team never expressed interest in pivoting towards this direction (for good reason, they had an admirable and ambitious goal of their own), it is now happening, and I think that’s exciting.
One near-term positive possibility for Farcaster would be getting back to where this place was at its all-time highs in terms of quality people participating in the network.
The app will be different, but the most likely people to become quality DAUs here in the next few months are probably people who have been quality DAUs here before, like myself.
It is easier to get someone to redownload an app or restart a habit of being active on one than to get someone who has ignored Farcaster for 5 years to join now. (cont.)
