Legacy social media platforms lock you in, control your audience, and exploit your data.

Farcaster aims to fix those problems. But how can it attract developers and users in an already saturated media environment?

Developer Ecosystem Lead Linda Xie joined the show to explain:

• How Farcaster addresses social media’s structural flaws
• How Farcaster’s mini-app ecosystem is helping to grow the user base
• The most popular apps taking off on the platform
• How the whole crypto community could benefit from gathering on Farcaster
• Why she believes crypto communities belong on open, portable networks
• And why her family’s history helped her grasp the significance of Bitcoin in 2011
