It’s fine to have multiple social web protocols, because this is a good time to experiment and see what sticks. But there’s a limit, and I’m drawing the line at Farcaster. ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and Nostr each provide unique strengths. We do not need a blockchain-based additional platform.

@manton Anything blockchain related just makes me roll my eyes. Those folks need to find a new grift already.

@manton Any screenshot of an app that features Marc Andreessen is a no-go for me.

@manton a voice of sanity.

@manton No thanks. It's not even necessary for cryptobros even.

@manton my interest in "yet another protocol" died at "blockchain."

@manton it’s not blockchain based other than identities (similar to AT’s PLC directory). The content synch is the most fully p2p system with wide adoption.

It also has a much more positive culture than Nostr.

Their Frames spec is the most interesting evolution of core open social I’ve seen in a long time https://docs.farcaster.xyz/learn/what-is-farcaster/frames

I hope to hack on #OpenFrames to make it available on AP and AT soon
