Show the cast this replies toi agree that that's likely; i disagree that that's a problem for network state (as distinct from its current citizens). farcaster needs to die in order for network state farcaster to survive. some users will be trapped between a shrinking platform and @balajis.eth's gaslighting (i love this for them). the culture that replaces it will be sanctioned, corpo style grifting (dressed as education, probs) and linkedin-esque pandering and corpo-style virtue signaling (i work long hours, i love the new vanilla pudding in the cafeteria, i admire balajis' braveness, i exercise often so i can deliver better products for my clients, etc). subsidized by BS, it'll be purposefully boring and unimportant and safely within the moderation guidelines. but it won't be farcaster... because it won't come from farcasters.

I fully agree with this WakeTake™. At the same time, I couldn't give a fuck about their endgoals; I care only about the users and friends we made along the way. 🙏 They can circlejerk around on this pretend LinkedIn microcosm and play Overbearing BBS Sysop all they like, for all I care.
agree. as time wears on, some users will acknowledge the dissonance, admit their mistake, and try to return to eden. it's our job to make this alternative the easy, open, and joyful option. and eventually it will be the default, the ethereum of social networks. permissionless, warts and all.
