I think this mistake even exists at the protocol level. User data, links, verifications are the core social primitives that can be integrated into almost every app Casts and reactions almost feel too opinionated to sit alongside those primitives and they dominate the cost of participating in the network as a validator

Everybody wanna come up with a non-Twitter use case, nobody wanna grind for 2+ years to get retained users in a polished mobile app. The issue isn’t the tech, it’s a person that can 1) get funding 2) grind for users for years

It’s tricky because the tech doesn’t matter without users but once the tech has users it’s hard to change

Again, I think a sufficiently funded and motivated person would be fine with existing stuff. The limiting issue is finding someone with both. I don’t think most people realize how brutal spending multiple years growing a consumer app is. Let alone 5 years.

I don’t think a sufficiently motivated person with enough funding would build a “non-twitter” use case exclusively on a protocol that is too opinionated in the first place unless it has too many users to ignore

Thus the relentless focus on user growth despite complaints that we don’t focus on other things. :)
