i wish this situation affected me less, but my feeling towards farcaster is -at least on this moment- at an all time low. and it is important for me to acknowledge that, and express it. i have created more than 10 channels. for every one of them i have paid 25 usd. the communication of today tells me: 1) the new owners didn’t pay those 25 usd 2) the old owners were taken away the channel and not given back their 25 usd honestly, “will be refunded” are empty words for me. it is not about the refund it’s about the implication (even if the new owner would have sent the old owner the 25 usdc directly i would feel different about this. but that’s not what happened. and this situation is a representation of the underlying energy that im kinda tired of standing behind when it is my turn to explain people why im building on farcaster)

and after processing having written “i wish this situation affected me less” i observe that that is a false statement. i dont wish that. i acknowledge how i feel in relationship to this, and how it impacts me. because i have focused my energy in here, and i made the conscious decision of develop an online presence here, and try to make my way through the world, from the end of the world, here. and it affects me, because i believe that this is not acceptable. i can’t accept it. there is something that feels wrong about this situation, and saying that “i wish it affected me less” is just perpetuating the “mr nice guy” energy that ive been projecting my whole life, just because of an existential difficulty to speak my truth. to use my voice to speak to what i believe is not correct. and this is one of the things that i have felt most strongly as incorrect of everything that ive seen here. it just feels… too much. and that makes me doubt if i want to keep focusing my energy here. and i honor that.

yeah, it could be done in other way, but this is what it is.. the hard part is that we use to call this a decentralized place, even if we know some parts are not.. I think we are surprised or shocked (in part) because we don't expect wc/zora doing this, zora manifesto says something against centralized corporations and our data?!.. anyway.. centralized channels, it is what is.. would be cool a message and instant refund.. or something, tho
