discoverability is a centuries old problem. It has never scaled well for small niche communities in any social context. Pre-social media and it’ll continue to be a problem at scale. This is why the medium changes every time. You either give into the algorithm or live long enough to be the algo. I do think places like Farcaster give content a very different avenue to approach being seen. Simultaneously, everyone is up against human behavior. I actually would love to see more content, but in the end seeing more content isn’t the thing. You need to be able to act on the content, become part of the culture of what the content is saying. If not, you’re just passively consuming and it really doesn’t matter if you see it or not. I think that’s the part that makes Farcaster most interesting. People here don’t just want you see their content, they want you to be part of it. Be “inclusive”, but people got their own baggage and still don’t know how to include themselves into what this meta-modern theme of social media really is. We’re seeing the start of something weird here. And it’s going to take many iterations to get to a final state, and I don’t think it matters if people see me or not. I just want to belong alongside the content.

This is a great take - I think farcaster feels more communal - maybe since it's on the blockchain the relationship between creator and consumer is more of a back and forth rather than a like and comment - which I really enjoy

The always-ongoing tug of war between being more social (reddit) or being more media (tiktok)

Additionally time is finite and energy coming in goes out. It’s always in balance You need both energy and time to contribute to social networks otherwise it becomes media E.g. consumption only Or it goes silent and „dead“ as no one consumes or puts activity (energy) in
