Any personal examples of Farcaster leading to cool social connections?

If you had a cool social connection as a result of Farcaster, reply here

Literally every single one of my new friends and professional partnerships since August 2022 came either directly from Farcaster or on a Farcaster’s recommendation

Thanks to those who inspired this post: @sal1y.eth @danicaswanson @adrienne @tldr @les @matthew and more

Probably the coolest FC connection for me is the "GenX women/over-40" crew that formed in the aftermath of FarCon. It centered around the "GenX Courage" post by @nounishprof and the thread that followed.

Now @adrienne and I work together on the FC Scenius Lexicon project.

GM Farcaster (podcast)

Met my co-founder at FarCon — and… well just see /gmfarcaster

I couldn't name a specific person at this point for a social connection, but being on FC from early, I know that I've interacted with, learned about, and learned from people I never would've interacted with otherwise. I could list 30-50 people in that category. The specific example may yet come.

Tons.  only have one tech/entrepreneur friend IRL. Only social media app I don’t feel dirty after spending time on

I am grateful that 

you and I can have opposing views, to the extreme of anyone in the community, on two critically important topics: staking pools, censorship.

Yet we are also top tier members of each others' mutual admiration societies.

If this continues another year, I'll use one for my PFP if you pick the other

Marc Antony met Cleopatra

Hamilton met Burr

RBG met Scalia

all on Fartcaster

Too many to count. 

I've never encountered such a high quantity of genuine values and interests aligned humans in one place. 

The closest I've come was a decade ago in graduate school when I took courses across multiple departments.

Bright Moments

Too many to name

I met @nonlinear.eth and @emodi, both of whom stepped up to sponsor and become important partners for /bright-moments at a key moment in our journey

my whole life in the last year is "a cool social connection as a result of Farcaster"

Thanks to the first FarCon, absolutely made several IRL connections of value to me. Last week, meeting up with @cameron was (I believe) the first time I met one-on-one with another FC user.
