Farcaster

I have a pretty high tolerance for edgy humor as well as controversy and confrontation but Twitter/X has become an absolute cesspool since Elon Musk took over. The platform is almost like another Stormfront at this point and is full of racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, homophobia and all manner of insipid and hateful commentary masquerading as wisdom. For all the faults that Twitter had before it has become magnitudes more unpleasant and chaotic.

Part of my attraction for Farcaster is the idea of finding a “frontier” where new community can be built on a more solid basis and the mistakes of the past can be avoided. So far I have appreciated the positive attitudes and interactions of people I have encountered and think it shows promise for building a more socially and politically beneficial platform for discourse. https://x.com/sohrabahmari/status/1810612672733327709?s=46

I've recently been suspended every few hours over the past 14 days - It's pretty bad as I'm barely posting anything. Something is seriously screwed there - I'm even suspended there right now!

But you're right, it is just messy. I like the calm of FC - It's like going to a cool side event where people are positive, encouraging and happy to be here away from the madness of the city outside the doors.
