Farcasters, I’m working on something for Farcon and would love your reactions and thoughts. Feel free to add a different option as well. Candor, honesty and kindness appreciated 🙏

Of the most active accounts on the protocol, I knew only a handful prior to Farcaster. Most of the "elite, inner circle" crypto people churned after onboarding.

I can only speak for my own experience, but I joined without knowing anyone here and have been able to do some cool stuff without permission 🫡 (it took like 6 months of being… uh… very active to get started though)

There’s certainly a challenge fitting in.

The "Coinbase" and "Ethereum" circles feel pretty distinct to me, with a bit of overlap in the middle of the Venn diagram. One thing I've liked about being here is finding a lot of new people who are not in my Ethereum circle on Twitter. (Also, we prefer to call them "seed rounds," not "circle jerks")

Joined without knowing anyone about a year ago and have enjoyed the community, met a lot of very smart casters at the Venice IRL meet up.

“elite” is a stretch term to describe Coinbase/ETH mafia that’s my quibble lmao

I think #2 is more true but it sometimes feels like #1 is. If you swap “elite” with “technical” it resonates more for me. I don’t see FC peeps as obnoxious thought leaders, but I am intimidated sometimes as a non-dev with no building experience

#2 - I joined via a DM to a guy I had never heard of (@dwr.eth), and joined a growing group of people I didn’t know. That said, I may be the exception not the norm.

To be a fair comparison of statements, I’d recommend putting a quality statement of the people on Farcaster in the first part of the second sentence (like you did in the first). Nevertheless #2 resonates more personally. I didn’t know anyone on FC before joining and feel like I can permissionlessly contribute.

I reckon it's the latter on my end.

I consider myself an outsider. From day one I’ve found a community of builders that are encouraging and engaging. What I haven’t found are influencers, schilling, trolling, or disinformation. The quality and value of community is a direct result of Farcaster’s design.

There are definitely inner circles but doesn't feel elite to me. So far everyone on my feed is receptive. I don't think everyone has an equal chance from the start, but if you participate effectively in highlighted casts, there's a better chance on being seen.

2 feels closer to my experience here but not sure about the ‘make an impact’ clause. Impact on what? eg never once thought success within a social network was needed to make a positive impact on the world. Amplify? Sure. Aside: Consider striking ‘inner circle of’ as you get that imaginary w ‘circle jerk’.

Even if it’s more the latter, the former is likely still a major perception for someone new

tbh i love farcaster for its intimacy and this is where my real unhinged thoughts that are too spicy for twitter live.
