i made a kinda dumb cast month or so ago that i didn’t respect anon accounts that have nothing to lose so they attack people. i should’ve been more nuanced. i think pseudonymous accounts like roon, daniel, formerly beff jezos are essential to growing a social platform — and farcaster needs them. are any here?

@0xen is definitely anon and brings an important POV to Farcaster, but — and i say this with zero shade — i wouldn't necessarily consider him a counter-cultural thought leader or brand the same way the anon accounts of aella, roon, beff jezos, etc. which function more as brands than as individuals.

Agree — I would say that aella and roon are v different, more personable, to Beff, who in turn I see as the epitome of the brand version of your criteria. Balaji has become similar to Beff But I think FC doesn’t lend itself to that ‘brand personality’; FC is more about conversation than thought leadeeship

I also think the Beff’s of the world aren’t important for growing FC. I think Beff brand didn’t bring a new audience, but was created for a certain Twtr audience I think FC needs more personable brands that have more conversation, like aella surveys or roon @cameron does this and would behave no diff as an anon

I have no idea what I’d do as an anon tbh but appreciate the opportunity for the thought experiment 👀

I think for most users simply having a non human pfp captures majority of the #AnonAesthetic A minority comes from the kind of thought leadership tweet style Ted mentions, and imo very little of it comes from actually not being doxxed: little has changed even tho Beff is now doxed
