I’ve been seeing a ton of praise like this recently, and while I (clearly!) also like Farcaster, most of it seems to be about there just being way fewer people here, as opposed to anything to do with the product itself?
(I also use Tweetbot though, so my Twitter experience is already reverse-chronological and ad-free)
Def less people on here is a factor. That being said, something sensory and tangible about the UX makes me feel like im not doomscrolling. The only thing I can point to is Twitter has been relentlessly optimizing for DAU, session length, etc for years. That isnt FC's mission.
