Farcaster

"Why do you spend time arguing with X, Y or Z on Farcaster?"

I try to avoid most of it! 

However, the nature of the network is to propagate memes. Positive or negative. 

And if too many negative memes propagate without a response, they will metastasize. Other people will start feeling worse (because of the unchecked negativity) and it will subconsciously make them want to use the app less.

And to be clear: we aren't always right, we make mistakes, we change our minds (strong opinions loosely held) and can sometimes come across as aggressive or curt (mostly me).

But we always try to reset and figure out how to make progress week over week.

It’s a double-edged sword. Responding to negativity often puts more attention on the issue and gives it legitimacy. What I’ve found works best is to release a new feature, however small, and shift the focus there instead. This approach helps maintain a positive atmosphere and encourages continued engagement.
