It’s weird when two things pop up around the same time, looking the same. Even more weird when one is a crypto start-up with a billion dollar valuation. And the other an under-funded non-profit in the Fediverse.

That’s the story of an unlikely couple: #Farcaster and #Newsmast.

Both built around channels, or communities. The success of Farcaster shows the potential in the #Fediverse.

An unlikely couple

Farcaster, meet Newsmast. It’s weird when two things pop up around the same time, looking the same. Like Hollywood releasing two versions of the same story, in the same year.
