Honestly, the transactional focus of this app depresses me endlessly. I don’t even want to connect a wallet, or be part of a ‘crypto-community’. It feels cut-off, gamified, worse than Twitter, in a sense, almost perverse.

I like that one can see the NFTs I collected, etc, but I don't get that Degen thing, and why half of the comments are about it

Ha, yes, the Degen thing is completely beyond me! Social media is stressful enough as it is without a rewarding system, right? Also, for me, I am not at all interested in niche-social medias as alternatives for X and such: it feels like facilitating fenced off bubbles while opening up seems much better.

Yes. My twitter feed has so much more than just art. It's a pity to see what the Tesla guy made with the app...

This are tips. And I promise you, they are real and made life of many artists here easier. Not going to last forever, tho.

Yeah, well, selling NFTs for € 1 is also like tipping. Are there any collectors here? Or are artists just tipping each other? I understand it’s an attempt at rewarding social media engagement beyond data-selling companies, but the ‘sales’ part is exactly the issue of ‘social’ media. ‘Sales media’ it is.

Well... we are talking about much higher amounts than selling NFTs even for €10. I'm not selling anything here. I'm doing exactly the same thing I was doing on X. Posting art-related content. The difference is, that I enjoy the lack of algo, dramas, and bullshit hot takes by influencoors + I earn money.

Tips are not coming from our pockets. So it's not like artists are spending money on each other. Tips are from the pool of this degen thingy. They are slowly distributing the supply of the coin to users of farcaster. We get daily allowance that we can spend on tips to others.

Free money? ‘Allowance’. You’re not helping the case, Kisz, haha! Mysterious fountain magically manifests allowances for its user base: cult vibes is what I am getting here.

Well. Ok. I'm not trying to lure you. I don't care. Last two months were huge for me and it really helped me to finance some of my projects for the next few months if not a year. You can hate it! I'll take the "free money". Have a good day!

It's not super complicated but it's too complicated to answer in a comment or two. You need somebody to guide you. Opening Temple wallet was black magic to me in 2020 too.
