A brief @sirsu appreciation, who seems to have left FC. It was recently revealed that his account was marked as a spammer by the algo. Again, with ~10% about me-me-meeee. A thread 🧵:

2/8 When I first joined Farcaster, there were only two accounts I recognized from CT: Vitalik and Sirsu. I had heard Diana Chen @treegirl's interview with him on /rehash, and trolled him on Twitter. (it was perhaps my first ever troll actually.) He clapped back btw.

He had already gotten into some controversy with Purple (before my time), and was an optimistic, well-spoken, unapologetic, ambitious founder. Some people called him a grifter, mostly due to yapping about his project but also trying to claim grants. He dared to try to make money on Farcaster, using self-sovereign permission-less crypto methods called *gasp* DAOs to facilitate coordination. 3/8

4/8 I saw members of the Faristocracy attack him, with vitriol levels similar to those you see on CT today! all while saying otherwise what a kind, polite, thoughtful, open-minded place this was. Fine. It's the internet. We are all born free to speak, associate, and pursue our interests.

We actually met in person randomly, at a pre-Degen pre-Frames Farcaster event, back when this was a small enough place that you could know almost everyone. I sheepishly confessed I had trolled him. He laughed (but definitely remembered). An absolutely lovely person IRL. 5/8
