We (admins @thecurioushermit and I) are putting the /slowcore-hq channel into extended hibernation. We haven't lost interest in the FC-seeded slowcore movement. To the contrary: we think it’s much-needed! However, the Farconomy doesn't have economic models to sustainably fund ongoing maintenance efforts for channels. Some projects have made inroads in the right direction. But without realistic prospects of adequate compensation to cover basic costs for responsible channel stewardship, we'll struggle with moderator attrition and burnout. (We apologize for the backlog of pending membership requests). The channel deserves better. It doesn’t seem fair or responsible to ask others to take over the channel under these conditions either, since channels are not a priority for WC. Maybe one day we’ll get a chance to turn /slowcore-hq into a sustainable cozy corner. For now, thanks for your camaraderie, fellow sloth people. We appreciate you. Keep moving slow and preserving things. 🐢 🐌

But you’re not leaving FC, right?

No, I'm not leaving FC. But I'll admit that I'm exhausted and having a tough time lately. Some days I question why I even still bother with crypto. I'm also actively looking for clients elsewhere, which will reduce the time I'm able to spend here. I can't speak for @thecurioushermit, but I think her academic schedule is ramping up, so...

Gotcha ya 👍 I think that’s normal, cycles of attention play on all of us … and if your work is not at least partly here, you can’t / shouldn’t be here all the time 🫶

Well, that's not the full story. I'm really sad about it. I love this place. I had long hoped I could find some sort of sustainable way (even indirectly) to turn my contributions to Farcaster into a livelihood. But without a clear path to a sustainable income that keeps the bills paid, it's not an option for me.
