Farcaster reflection: The platform has organic norms of civility whereas Twitter for some reason has become a jungle full of wild apes. But it’s not an oppressive civility of the style of BlueSky.

Twitter reminds me of how MySpace was once overrun by indie music producers pushing their mp3s, the spam of the times; which eventually drove people to give Facebook, a cleaner platform at the time, a chance. This time around, Twitter is being flooded by bots and a low-quality crowd emboldened by racism and a lack of civility; and the crowd is not particularly smart. Remember the core of early facebook were Ivy League students; now in Facebook u see more ads and post from random people than your own friends. In contrast, Farcaster seems to attract a more educated, tech-oriented builders focused on building, which helps maintain a higher standard of conversation. As for Bluesky, I haven’t spent much time there because I haven’t seen a clear differentiator from twitter. So I’m curious: what do you mean by “oppressive civility”? I actually posted on Bluesky today trying to poach a Turkish LSE associate human rights professor friend to try Farcaster. Just my 2 cents via noice! 😂😎

I really don’t understand the “oppressive civility” on Bluesky. I see whole ass arguments over there all the time. I would say Bluesky feels the most like twitter of a few years ago, while Farcaster feels refreshingly different; like if Reddit was structured more like twitter
