Finally caught up with the Farcasters and finished Black Mirror S7. I’ve always loved how Black Mirror explores a near-future world where technology isn’t just a tool but a mirror, reflecting our fears, flaws, and fragile hopes back at us.
AI and digital consciousness are recurring themes throughout the season: consciousness might require a paid subscription, AI actors in a virtual film set could awaken to their own identities, a retro game’s AI may evolve and seize control of its own world, you can revisit the past by stepping into old photographs, blurring memory and reality, you and your digital double could be trapped in a metaverse game...
We’re not that far from the futures Black Mirror imagines.
But the show’s real power may not lie in predicting dystopias, it lies in warning us. The greatest danger of accelerating technology isn’t necessarily the tech itself, It’s the unexamined human desires driving it. 5 replies

Following the explosive rise of $DEGEN, $ENJOY brought the tipping economy to Zora. In early April last year, $ENJOY reached its ATH, and Zora experienced explosive growth alongside it. People were tipping creators with $ENJOY, minting what they enjoy with $ENJOY, and this also spotlighted projects like Surreal and Interface, which support tipping with $ENJOY while minting Zora NFTs.
But in the fast-paced world of crypto, innovation that doesn’t keep evolving is quickly forgotten. Time flies, and many of the tipping-focused memecoins born on Farcaster (aka “scene memecoins”) have gradually faded away. Perhaps token distribution and utility consumption remain challenging issues.
Still, the bright side is, they’ve left behind valuable lessons for those who come next.
Goodbye $ENJOY, goodbye to what Zora once was. 1 reply

What can we learn from Phaver’s collapse?
1. Tokens and airdrops don’t build lasting communities.
Phaver’s airdrop brought short-term hype, but most users were airdrop hunters or bots(many were flagged as spam by Warpcast), not genuine loyal users. and after the TGE, many left and complained as the token crashed. also, listing on CEXs was also costly, funds that could’ve been better spent on product development. Long-term success requires PMF to build a loyal community and effective monetization paths.
2. Grow with the protocol together, not in isolation.
Lens has clients like Hey, Orb, and Phaver, but user bases are scattered. Unique, non-interoperable features (like Phaver’s Communities or Orb’s Clubs) created silos. During Phaver’s airdrop, it overlooked many active Lens users outside its own app. Even though it supported both Lens and Farcaster, it failed to build synergy across those communities.
Phaver is a cautionary tale for other social products, showing what to do and what to avoid. 5 replies
