These six minutes are some of the most proud I’ve ever been of our stream. As an industry we need to meet people where they’re at, don’t build Zora or Forecaster when Instagram and Twitter have already solved for user needs with a 10x smoother product. The only game in town imo https://t.co/hio0OMVwF1

"trading product direction killed farcaster, dead internet theory" not really sure invoking dead internet theory is as clever as you think, since FC rewards were mercilessly gamed for months by "users" making multiple accts and posting gen ai slop well before this new direction many either didn't notice or didn't car...

privacy isn't about hiding, it's about being able to choose when and how you reveal information. the enemy here is coercion, not transparency. mandatory kyc and other forms of forced disclosure create massive honeypots that inevitably put users in danger once compromised. we need better solutions to these problems rat...
