There's a concept that permeates almost everything we do (Farcaster/TBA) and that we almost never talk about: default. That silent mode in which we look, swipe, react, and move on without pausing for a second. It's practical, fast, and familiar. So familiar that it becomes the automatic option, even when it stops offering us anything.
The image of the two pills stems from this idea. Because, deep down, every time we open our apps, we face a choice: Do we continue down the path we already know or try a different way of connecting?
That's where TYSM comes in. Not as an alternative that "competes" with what already exists, but as a change of focus. A small but significant detour.
TYSM introduces something that seems simple, almost trivial: pausing for a second to acknowledge what someone else has done. That gesture—that second of genuine attention—completely alters the dynamic. Not because it revolutionizes technology, but because it modifies the underlying human interaction.
While the default pushes us to consume content like someone staring out the window of a moving car, TYSM proposes slowing down and truly observing. It rescues intention. It revalues the contribution of others. It transforms an automatic journey into a more conscious one.
The image symbolizes it well: one hand offers the familiar. The other, something that opens a different way of being. The difference isn't in the aesthetics of the pills, but in what they represent.
The default maintains the structure we already understand. TYSM introduces a nuance that, although small, changes the experience: it makes you a participant, not just a spectator.
And in an environment where everything accelerates, where every gesture seems to matter less and less, that nuance begins to matter much more than it appears.
That's why this image isn't just a visual game inspired by The Matrix: it's an invitation to rethink how we want to participate in the spaces we inhabit every day.
Because, ultimately,

𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 Most of the time we're on "default," communicating almost out of habit. But sometimes a different option appears, a small gesture that changes the way we connect. I'm sharing some thoughts on this with you in this new installment of The Gratitude Journal 👇 https://paragraph.com/@tysm/breaking-free-from-default-the-decision-that-defines-how-we-connect-today
Such a powerful read! Tysm for putting words to something most of us feel but rarely articulate. The way you frame “default” really hit me. That quiet slide into autopilot is so real, especially in a space that moves as fast as ours. And you’re right: TYSM isn’t trying to replace anything… it just offers a different rhythm.

A post by @nomadicframe surveys the default mode and TYSM, showing how pausing to acknowledge others can shift interaction from automatic consumption to conscious participation. It contrasts familiar habits with a deliberate detour, inviting a slower, more purposeful way of engaging.
