"why is farcaster's user growth slowing down, even reversing?" many people that $DEGEN and derivatives brought to the platform weren't users, they were locusts. they came, extracted what they wanted and left. some stayed and became valuable members, some were harmful. resources that could've been spent on improving the platform were redirected into battling all the negative side-effects. farcaster didn't thrive. it survived. don't get me wrong, i love these experiments — degen mindset is builder mindset — but if you're doubting farcaster based on naive data points, you're gonna have a bad time. maybe this is not the right place for you at this moment. and that's ok. however, if you accept we're in the early phases and there are still many roadblocks to overcome, so much left to build (and sunset too), and that it's you who can shape its future, you will be much happier. farcaster is what we make it to be.

Can't agree more. But I think there is one thing that needs to be added to this b/c there's at least one user I know who isn't using Farcaster like before JUST b/c of this reason: Me!: I had left degen game long before I stopped using Farcaster, so I was still using Farcaster. But what made me think other way? Using Farcaster as your single social network makes you fall behind what's going on in other areas but Base chain & Farcaster itself. I was almost unaware of what's being built in other chains days that I was using only Farcaster, so I replaced it again with X. Personally I don't find incentives like degen or moxie or whatever of that value that keeps me blind on every other improvements. I hope FC can gain users of variety of fields of interests so we can have engaging & fruitful discussions in here.

yes, totally understand! fc is still very tiny and whether we like it or not, primary attracts relatively homogeneous group of people. and so you don't get exposure to many things happening outside of this group. as dan likes to say, "not enough interesting content" :)
