i give farcaster a hard time because i'm dissatisfied with the status quo of online social and feel like we have a genuine opportunity to do things differently this is why it frustrates me when farcaster leans into the same things that make traditional online social shitty thinking about it more i realized i don't actually know what farcaster is trying to achieve. does it want to solve fair distribution for creators? does it want to solve deplatforming and censorship? does it want to be a mini app platform? does it want to be a place where people make genuine connections? does it want to be a place people go for entertainment? does it want to be a composable social graph? does it want to be an app for people to discover crypto apps? i genuinely have no idea. this vacuum of direction invites people to shape their own narratives about farcaster and leads to everyone being disappointed when decisions are made that don't align with their idea of what it should be

quick take yes - solve deplatforming and censorship - fair distribution for creators yes because it needs a zeitgeist niche - mini apps - discover crypto apps yes because it's inherently social - connection & entertainment

Here's hoping the universe's incentives somehow magically align with tick all the decentralization boxes if their ultimate quest is in fact simply to get more users

It won’t. Farcaster is merely a product. They’ll only do what they think will drive enrollment. There’s no ethos besides that. Maybe varun harbors ideals that align but dan definitely doesn’t care.
