What's on your mind re: Farcaster?

Feels like there's been a subtle uptick in negativity recently directed at a variety of people / teams. I'd rather that be directed my way.

Curious to hear what people are frustrated with in the replies.

Will only ask clarifying questions, i.e. no arguing or defending or telling you that you're wrong.

And then I'll do a video response in a few days sharing our latest thinking based on any common themes.

Read through a few of the replies to the cast below and like any that resonate with you.

Even if you didn't reply yourself, liking replies that resonate you will help me focus in on the topics that are top of mind for the most people when I do my video this weekend.

Example of an account that's incorrectly labeled?

Please just turn down the spam labeling. It’s the most discouraging thing about this app.

I miss thinking about Farcaster as a protocol. Which was what got me excited because I saw so many possibilities of what could be (understand that promise != reality). 

Now I think of Farcaster as mostly Warpcast with an open social graph. (Which I don’t think is evil, but vibe shifty)

I also understand the need for growth in DAU, which yes I agree is still the most important thing. 

And this is likely because I’m the early adopter crowd that came in for principles, does not mean that the next cohort will.

Just food for thought. FWIW, I’m not negative on Farcaster/Warpcast/Merkle. But things are different from 2-3 years ago.

I know your somebody who can handle the heat. 

But it’s worthwhile prompting the positive side as well. There are insights there as well, and probably slightly better for your mental health :)

Just shared some thoughts in the thread and also going to go like a few other messages.

I'm looking forward to the video!

✅ I don't see or experience much of the negativity (though I know it's out there), but I did resonate with a few of these, more than I expected and liked them.
