3 comments Interesting. I think Suji Yan and the Mask Network are probably a good steward for Lens w/ strong commitment to decentralized values and knowledge. But how to get the users (back) in? The whole thing currently feels like a slop swamp. Hope they can kick some life and good content into Lens :) 🚀 they have my blessing.  Really feels like the ATL for crypto social. I wonder where we are going next. Usually when the initial ambitions of a new topic crash and burn there is a renaissance shortly after. I‘d love to not miss it like I did with NFTs. That said, I‘m in the process of finding a job right now 😔 yes feels like ATL. also w/ neynar taking over fc. guess people thinking that decentralised social is going to be big bucks are retreating and it’s going to people who are more ideological invested. but could be wrong. but it is not only crypto - everywhere is doom. and it’s not only nft that’s down, trad art space is also not doing so well for instance. newsfeed is full of bearish news. maybe it’s blue monday today must be somewhere this time of year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(date) … did some research, it was actually last monday 19 this week lol |
