If you didn't want to take over an existing social network, why buy it? If you want a distinct identity, why not rename it? Let's not try to pretend like you (balajis & NS) and farcaster were ever aligned. At least from the user perspective. We have nothing to do with NS, no interest in NS/Balajis, and vice versa.\n\nBalajis had years to prove us wrong by simply showing up. His social graph is like the most barren account out there. A reflection of his actual interest in Farcaster.","farcaster":"https://farcaster.xyz/arfonzo/0x46bc2316a82c5e98c3e9019586e453d2059963a7","firefly":"https://firefly.social/post/farcaster/0x46bc2316a82c5e98c3e9019586e453d2059963a7","note":"author hasn't signed the social smart contract; the cast may be restricted on farcaster.xyz"}
