I believe a big reason FC is not seeing more growth the last few months is due to a lack of interest and acceptance of trading and memecoins being the dominant narrative this cycle.

FC's infra is best suited to be the defacto home for token projects and yet we see very very little projects doing so.

I understand and appreciate the commitment to building, adoption and sustainability.

I also recognize that 99% of memecoins will go to 0 by the end of this cycle.

However - the current approach is making FC feel like a place that has an entirely different set of convos, most of which are not currently EV+.

I say this all as someone that cares deeply about FC and it's growth but think it's important we recognize that crypto-natives on Twitter do not see value in being on here and that feels like a problem to me in the context of the next 12-24 months.

It is unlikely that FC just leapfrogs crypto-native adoption and gets an influx of mainstream users without winning the wider crypto crowd over first.

there he said it 💯 it's that "holier than thou" vibe that you get here.

new users who don't fit in with the culture they are trying to push here ends up being marked as spam, and told to build their own client if they don't like it 🤣 why would they stay?

furthermore, i don't see the downsides of putting more efforts in bringing crypto twitter onboard? nothing wrong with embracing the trend and getting more users. 

also i'm quote casting here because if i reply as a comment I get shown in the "more replies" section on /farcaster ... great experience huh? 😂

I 100% agree with everything in this quote.
I'm so dissatisfied with this situation where they even quote and present our opinions. 

However, the management's attitude shows no willingness to fix this problem yet. 

I don't know how long I'll be patient.

it's sad. I know of many people who left and will never return because they felt that they are not welcomed here

I wonder what this place will be like in the future.
Will we leave, will they come back?

I still have hopes that they will realize it and do the right thing :( It's not an easy problem to solve but they need to be kinder and pay more attention to regular users with lesser followers or non-english speaking users. 

I think all the attention is on the big early users, and the rest of the people ignored.

There is a lot of potential for development, so it would be nice if they could change their minds a little. 
Let's wait a little bit with patience.
