"Merkle just helps its friends"

How many times do I have to repeat that most users and developers on Farcaster did not know Varun or myself prior to joining Farcaster.

And in some cases have *become* friends because they stuck around early on when no one else cared. We've spent years with this people socializing on this social network. :)

Don't conflate something that's earned / built with cronyism.

this is me as well. didn't know anybody here, certainly not dan or varun. just posted every day here for 2 years when DAU was like 45 people and the only thing people talked about were note taking apps.

There was no bookmark button back then. You couldn’t even delete haha. They’re probably lost to the ether

Do you have any of those old casts bookmarked? It would be cool to see how different “the vibes” were haha

sometimes miss casting into the void in 2023 then once outta every like 10 casts it would resonate w someone and we had a long random convo, good times lol

why would you use anything else than Notes.app anyways

same...I'd just share my art and be happy to get 2 likes lol

Oh I remember the note taking conversations vividly! People were gushing about Obsidian, so I installed it on my PC and haven't opened it once since 😆 

100 $DEGEN

I didn’t know you either 🫵 hehehehe and no one knew me

Man, I would have really loved in then.  Note taking apps are a minor obsession.

Zora

I was much easier to have a conversation with you back then, I remember we chatted first time when I asked: what is the use of Zorb on /zora

Bwt ,how did you met Jacek and Degen token base project ?

I think that’s one thing that adds to the credibility of Merkle
Everything is being done by merit, no favoritism nor bias

@0xen So how do you get to know them? Can you tell me a little about your experience?

Well... what was the consensus? What was the best note taking app?

Dang. 45 people, this place has come a long way 

And we’re only getting started 
From note apps to food recipes. I ain’t mad

Damn, farcaster has really come a long way

I’m really new and yeah I’ve also met some few amazing ppl and I would really like to get to know more amazing people 
Really grateful to be here !💜

You're really OG, aren't you? There were only 45 ??

I feel like it’s normal once people join on here
They feel estranged and any little thing makes em feel like it might be bias from familiarity 

When i first joined on here, zi had zero idea what anyone wws talking about and i stopped using the app for about a month and came back

It’s normal😂
