random observations: have noticed for a year+ that the behaviors / trends / content that do the best here track closest to early Facebook than to any other current platform (X, TikTok, Insta).

why?

i think there's an exhaustion with performative social and instead people crave low-stakes, casual spaces where they can share random thoughts and just connect. 

farcaster offers that to a lot of users today; the most common pieces of feedback:

- from the older generation, "it reminds me of the early internet"

- from the younger generation, "its for posting whatever is on my mind, which can be harder to do on other platforms. magic internet friends."

for the millennials, it offers a brand new network. they're not posting to friends or colleagues; they're posting to their followers most of whom they've never met before.

for college students, they never had a public digital space like Facebook. they only had instagram (performative feed) or snapchat (private messaging).

the other similarity with Facebook is that it had Facebook Platform: set of tools / product for third-party devs to create their own apps that could access data in Facebook (gifts, marketplace, events, video, games; honestly worth studying the history of Facebook Platform).

wait… has anyone checked the Facebook mobile app recently???

go look at it and report back
