Chasing users fleeing another platform is not a long-term valuable strategy.

Effort is better spent trying to figure out the compelling reason for people to join the network independently.

If you have that, then you can use sudden external entropy to help grow.

But sign ups for the sake of sign ups don’t matter.

What’s the compelling reason for people to join Farcaster?

/new-york 🗽 • /untzuntz 😈 • /tastebuds 🍕 Fan of eating tacos and bringing people together, often at the same time 🌮

Internet-based friends or based friends on the internet?

Totally fair, appreciate your honesty around that! For me: Farcaster is the best place to make interest-based friends on the internet

That is super powerful (and needed and differentiated) and I’d posit it’s why most existing users have stuck around

For me it's the promise of building my portable social graph. Still need more actual usage but I haven't seen a better shot at it yet.
