i give farcaster a hard time because i'm dissatisfied with the status quo of online social and feel like we have a genuine opportunity to do things differently this is why it frustrates me when farcaster leans into the same things that make traditional online social shitty thinking about it more i realized i don't actually know what farcaster is trying to achieve. does it want to solve fair distribution for creators? does it want to solve deplatforming and censorship? does it want to be a mini app platform? does it want to be a place where people make genuine connections? does it want to be a place people go for entertainment? does it want to be a composable social graph? does it want to be an app for people to discover crypto apps? i genuinely have no idea. this vacuum of direction invites people to shape their own narratives about farcaster and leads to everyone being disappointed when decisions are made that don't align with their idea of what it should be

1 billion plus people using the protocol every day. We get there by figuring out how to grow retained daily active users sustainably. As users grow, developers have increased incentive to build new apps and services. Creating more options of users. Eventually, you get to a flywheel. Not close to that yet. Need to figure out what will grow retained daily active users. All of the other properties you cite are downstream of user growth in terms of importance. Reasonable to argue that we could “rug” the promise, but we’ve been clear for last 5 years we view success as building a successful protocol.

Hello 🎩
@leosatyam
If I talk about myself, I came to farcaster out of some desire which was getting intense but the apps by meta , google, telegram, X didn't satisfy. Here I find so many devs , and people mostly focused on web3. someone who hold nouns , top rankers by builder score. I have super little skill. But these are some pieces of things which I want. This also motivates me to develop and I really get some cool Ideas and may be one day ... Different users for different reasons, multiple reasons. Farcaster provide something that people need on massive scale but everybody is lost in the usual stuff.
