I’ve never liked leaderboards on social platforms. In games, sure they make sense. You’re meant to compete. But when social spaces start ranking people, something subtle shifts. The goal becomes visibility. Attention. Optimizing yourself for applause. FC talks a lot about decentralization, authenticity, and creativity but so much of the energy still orbits around the leaderboard. Casts become performances. Engagement becomes currency. And over time, people start posting not from the soul, but from strategy. It’s exciting if you’re at the top. But what does that say to everyone else? When the system forces you to constantly seek validation, it stops being social it becomes transactional. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to rethink that whole thing. Not everything meaningful can be ranked. Not everything valuable needs a number next to it.

I don’t look at the rankings. The ones chasing likes aren’t at the top Oneday, sorry but you’re wrong about that. The people at the top are creative, they share their visions or their creations. They have real personality and energy. I think this ranking is a kind of support the community gives to users they find meaningful

I hear you and I’m not saying people at the top aren’t creative or meaningful. Many are. I admire that. But my discomfort isn’t about them, it’s about the system itself. Even if rankings reward good creators, they also reshape how we engage. They create a quiet pressure to perform, to measure ourselves, to interpret our worth through feedback loops for some of us, that makes the space feel less authentic like we’re always being measured, even in moments meant to be human and unfiltered. It’s not about who’s “winning.” It’s about what we’re turning connection into and whether we’re okay with that.

No, believe me Oneday, I’ve been watching what’s happening on the leaderboard since the beginning. But I understand your thinking, I had the same thoughts, to be honest. At first, yes, you get caught up in the momentum. A kind of daily pressure builds up to rank higher, and you might start overdoing it. But then you realize you’re stressing over earning 3 or 5 dollars, so that pressure fades away. And what remains are the connections you build with incredible people. Don’t be fooled, most of us are getting like 3 or 5 dollars a week, lol. And I’ve even seen tiny accounts with like 300 followers in the top 10, which is actually really cool

This is a cool conversation yall are having. I tend to side with @anemale.eth — to me it’s actually a great example of what a leaderboard can be. Not saying it’s perfect, but it does a pretty solid job of making the playing field level and I think the team deserves kudos for that.

Back then, some leaderboards only highlighted the OGs. It was pretty tough, because we had to follow them and validate what they said in order to grow. Yes, this current leaderboard isn’t perfect as you said, but I really like it for newcomers. We get to discover people beyond the OGs, and that’s important
