I've been obsessed with Social Media since the day I made my first Facebook account in 2006.
Dabbled on Twitter early, went on to build one of the largest luxury blogs on Tumblr, then massive follower network on Instagram, which all lead me to Clubhouse at the end of 2020...
and back on Twitter, now X, where we built a large news organization and network of Creators focused on Crypto/Web3/Emerging tech.
I've tried more than a dozen platforms in the meantime, some worked, some didn't work. We yet have to find the crypto killer app, but I think that every time one of them garners a lot of attention, we get one step closer.
The reason I am so attracted to Farcaster is that real networks are built organically, without a carrot being dangled in front of its users, or promises that cannot be kept.
A few things that excite me about what is being done here:
- Network effect: from what I have read, Farcaster has grown solely based on the fact that its participants added value by building products and services on top of the protocol (Warpcast, Frames, etc.).
- Genuine interaction: people are not on here to farm a token or points, they are here to connect with people who share a common interest, hence the heavy use of channels.
- Built on Ethereum: at the end of the day, Ethereum is one of the most robust and decentralized networks ever built, and for Social Media and its users to be truly free, we need to own the narrative, and we need to the network.
Just some thoughts in between a day full of work, will share more as we go!

Just collected @farokh's latest banger https://paragraph.xyz/@farokh/some-thoughts-on-farcaster
read this inline! recently as frames exploded, we had a lot of spammers and follow4follow people. but now the algo improved so much that even though the spam is still there, but we don't see it AND i really like the feed :)
Paragraph is awesome! Big fan
Well done. Love that I could read and subscribe in feed. Paragraph is awesome
Alright... I have been told that writing threads is anti-Farcaster culture and I personally hate threads on X, but I couldn't figure out how to share my thoughts as we are limited on here for now. Figured out how to use Paragraph and wrote my first article! https://paragraph.xyz/@farokh/some-thoughts-on-farcaster
Very cool! Can you use frames with mirror.xyz, too?
Now that's cool! Big time crypto using paragraph.
Oh I like this! So much easier to read!

Damn you're learning fast! Wait til the subscriptions roll in and you see the magic of frames :)
I created a /paragraph account but I'm intimidated by the immutable nature of it. Like, what if I fuck this up? Can I edit it? Can I delete it? Or will my hubris and failure forever be visible to all and sundry? Is what I have to say even worth it? I guess there's no way to know except to try, but still... maybe later

I just collected @farokh and his thoughts on Farcaster.. it feels so much more intuitive to collect now I'm thinking in terms of farcaster vs twitter etc

Well said. Web3 should be supporting social media built on Blockchain networks. Excelsior!
We tend to knock every new consumer app coming out of crypto when we should be supporting their mission... especially when ethereum native imo!
