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

#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.

I didn't know anyone when I joined, so closer to #2. But I wouldn't say everyone has an equal 'chance' for impact (it implies probability to me), but everyone has an equal 'opportunity'. Some people will have an easier time to succeed than others due to whatever skills they came in with

I resonate with 2. Like others I joined without knowing anybody here.

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
