@peerbase_: Decentralized social networks haven't worked yet, Farcaster activity

One thing people need to realize is that, unfortunately, decentralized social networks haven't worked yet. That's the truth. Farcaster's interactions dropped by 90% after @dwr sold it, down to fewer than 3,000 posts a day. Lens has never really taken off and has been consistently declining, also hovering around a few thousand interactions a day. I really love these innovations and have always been an early adopter of both, but so far, they've failed. There are, unironically, Telegram groups with more engagement than these platforms. So having someone like @balajis spending time and money trying to make the protocol useful and help it grow is really awesome. Web3 people really love to engage in these philosophical debates about decentralization, but if no one uses it, it doesn't matter whether it's decentralized or not. It's just LARPing. Farcaster was dead, and now it's got another shot. If you're enthusiastic about decentralized social networks, take advantage of this moment. Join NS or another client and use the momentum to your advantage.
