1/6 I was reading this new paper on how 300K academics migrated from X to Bluesky, and I wanted to share some reflections because it shows quite clearly how social networks actually grow. What I’m about to say isn’t new. I’ve often been critical of Farcaster’s current growth strategy, and that’s because it’s not grounded in how networks or virality really work. Instead, it feels that FC is based on well-funded wishful thinking: abstract ideas wrapped in the language of innovation, blending Read/Write/Own concepts with old-school Silicon Valley consumer app logic… without fully committing to either. At the end of the day it leans heavily on FOMO and incentives to drive (low-quality) growth. (Farcaster Pro subscriptions stalling as soon as users -or bots- hit the 10k NFT reward cap is a perfect example of this.) And yes, experimentation is great. Some of the best ideas emerge from it. But we also have a long-established understanding of how humans (as social and emotional animals) behave.

Tbh, a year ago, it was hard to get attention around here if you weren't tipping degen (or build on Base). Can't blame them to focus where the reach was ^^ They have, and the story is really insane. Maybe TPL wasn't pushed enough yes, but pixel Brokers could be integrated in Soulbound, mechs in Nifty Island (and in any web3 virtual worlds). But I agree with @chainleft , crypto has a culture problem. I've seen it here a countless of time, they dgaf about NFT ("no PMF", only open editions, on chain summer joke, no proper integration of Manifold -except for Base-, 0 post on /nft, 0 post regarding art marketplaces closure, PFP copycats everywhere...) So why going on a hostile place when people are supposed to be your peers ? Node Foundation bought the CryptoPunks IP and is going to be an archive node dedicated to onchain art (if I understood correctly)

Mmh.. Poap could have been fun, unsure about launching memecoins here for each authentic ideas. Maybe the Paradigm Found could have been a nice mini app yes ^^ But asking to 10k characters to create their own lore is too much I'll watch closely what @nodefoundation will do, IMO the fully onchain culture will stay niche for a while. But they'll stay
