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.

As the founder you do hold sway over the narrative in a way that no other person does, so appreciate that you do choose to wade into the waters when you do. Especially since it helps perpetuate community culture, and by not going ape shit on people, instead just asking direct questions it sets a tone. 

Everyone can take that however they want, but at the end of the day its better than silence and/or sending goons in comms or mkt to go after naysayers. Which happens.
