GM Degens,

I know the recent bans didn’t sit well with everyone. We used a rule-based approach to target sybils, but it’s a tough battle, and we’re just two people. If you got caught in the crossfire, I’m sorry. There was collateral damage, but we also hit a lot of big farmers.

These decisions aren’t easy, but they’re made for the community’s long-term health. If you’re feeling discouraged, I get it. Tipping was meant to be fun—sharing memes, onboarding new users—not a paycheck.

Let’s bring back that energy: meme, create, and enjoy the space without stressing over prices. Moving forward, we’ll act on community reports and evidence instead of broad rules. Policing isn’t fun, but without it, some ruin the game for everyone.

Let’s keep it fun—don’t use $DEGEN to pay rent. Create, share, and help us go viral.

Being part of this community is not easy. No matter how world-renowned you are or how serious your work is, this is an environment where only those with financial means can truly exist and grow. Despite thismany others have resisted to remain here. That’s why many newcomers eventually leave.
Months ago, I told some people, "You are doing tip4tip, don't do it—focus on building community relationships." They are not banned, but I am. You accused us of receiving money out of thin air. That is not true. We actually invest money into this platform, and there should be a return on that investment.
Moreover, receiving tips from the community is not easy. This is exactly why we stay active and put in the effort. We are trying to make this community attractive and sustainable. If people do not trust your project and you cannot bring in new members, you will not be able to move forward and will eventually disappear.
Instead of banning farmers, you have blocked those who were trying to bring quality to this platform

Every word is true.
Every bit of pain you expressed is true with every creator who was banned.
Trust is very delicate, once broken it's difficult to regain easily.
