FC observation of the day

The joy and goodwill I feel towards the whole ecosystem just keeps increasing for me

Even after not being on too much over the last couple weeks bc I was heads-down on other work, coming back and seeing all the new experimentation and alignment of everyone here just separates it even further from Twitter in my mind

I'm bullish FC

@adrienne "experimentation and alignment" something to add to your list about what makes this place special

Building @giftr 💞| Creating brands & products  @byronfive ✨|  Managing @internette | CEO of 👧🏻 👧🏻 👦🏼 🐶| NYC or nowhere🗽

Amen. Optimization: Alignment between values and behaviors. 

So if we say "experimentation" is a value, is everyone clear about what it looks like?

Very true

Was talking about this with @coachcoale the other week

The fact that it's a place that *truly* celebrates experimentation means that people *do* experiment

Twitter celebrates successful experimentation (see VC Twitter, big thinkbois, celebrates progress), but not so much in-process experimentation

Farcaster is different

Thanks shira 

And totally agree. 
We already have experimentation in our docs. Alignment is really interesting. Aligned groups can be exceptionally productive. 

But in a social network aligning on the “wrong” thing can lead to group think and exclusion. 
I think FC is values-aligned which is what leads to a better experience here.

Values: 
Builder, respect, positive sum, experimentation, optimism, etc
