I don't understand why all crypto people always want to exchange Telegrams when you meet IRL. It's just like exchanging numbers: creates a dead end. Much better to connect on Farcaster, Twitter, even LinkedIn, so that at least there's some passive social context to further develop the relationship. Otherwise you have to remember who the person is based on their name, force a conversation to keep in touch, etc. Passive social context is powerful. There's a reason that people ask for Instagrams and Snapchats in both romantic and friend contexts instead of numbers these days. Side note: I still don't understand how you can work in crypto and not be on Farcaster. Feels like one of the highest leverage things you can do to continue to build your network in the industry and perhaps more importantly actually try and use new onchain (mini) apps.

Socially you are right. But to actually get something done, Telegram DM’s are a far superior experience. Invites, editing, file + image sharing, group chats. They aren’t comparable currently. X + LinkedIn dm’s both suck too, so this is why TG is used here. Good op for Farcaster imo.

But when you meet someone at like a happy hour and want to “connect” your goal is often just to keep up with them for the future, not to “get something done” I think following each other on Farcaster or X is best to keep in touch and then can transition to Telegram or other platforms as needed

If I want to connect, it’s to get something done, so TG needed. If it’s just to catch up, yes we’ll just do FC or X. I’ll often get DM’d here and if the conversation is heading towards “work” it will switch to TG instantly. My point is, DM’s are not fit for purpose and good op.
