Trending Topics Should Be 🌸

❀ In Japanese culture, sakura symbolizes impermanence (mujō): nothing lasts forever, and that’s what makes it meaningful. 

❀ Current trending topics linger too long: they shouldn’t dominate the feed for days.

❀ Farcaster trends need to pop and fall quickly, like sakura petals after rain.

❀ You can’t hold onto sakura blossoms and you can’t hold attention with stale topics.

❀ If a topic stays too long, spammers and LLMs will hijack it and that kills the vibe.

❀ Sakura season is communal — people pause and share the moment. Trending topics should feel the same:
	❀A shared, ephemeral experience
	❀A reason to check the app often
	❀A way to find cool people talking about cool things

I cherish the Sakura. Make me cherish trending topics taking up space on my home feed.

If the eyes are the window to the soul, can your thoughts on Sakura be the window to the heart?

I found these no lens glasses on my evening walk and decided to make some street art and leave them in a visible place. Since they had no lenses, I didn’t bother bringing them to the police.
