Farcaster

Social media is indeed in desperate need of innovation but not the way they're thinking of it.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Fully agree. I feel like the next generation of social apps/protocols aren’t taking the opportunity to rethink the entire stack seriously by just rebuilding Twitter on technically decentralized infrastructure

been thinking a bit about what it actually means for online creators to own their audience - an important promise of decentralized social that i don't think any emerging platforms really succeed at delivering yet

i believe it comes down to 2 things:

1. distribution: when someone subscribes to your content, you should be able to reach them regardless of what the app they are using thinks of you

2. fairness: subscriber feed algorithms should rank your content based on signals from the user or the network at large, but not the app itself (e.g. shadowbans/spam labels)

absolute fairness is hard to achieve with current feed building architectures and content policies. MEV analogies are potentially interesting here e.g. encrypted mempool = encrypted content, proposer builder separation = client feed builder separation

any good ideas that you’ve seen? i always see people say this but they never include an example
