After a month on Warpcast, I have decided to stick around and keep posting here. Here's why: 1. The community is politically diverse, civil and curious As a reporter, posting on X and Bluesky can feel repressive in that both platforms are filled with people who want their biases flattered and take offense when their priors are challenged. Many of you here seem earnest, intellectually omnivorous, and willing to engage with viewpoints respectfully without assuming bad faith when opinions diverge or being performative. 2. It feels like an older version of the internet Maybe it's the cartoon avatars or the anonymity, maybe it's the fact that so many of you work on stuff I couldn't begin to understand how to code. But there's this pre-Facebook vibe here that is really cool. It's even made me appreciate crypto's potential beyond scams and crime. 3. Friends! Fun! I can't remember the last time I forged bonds with people I don't know IRL about things other than work. And what can I say? I'm a loyal guy.

Excellent news and words; such that I may lift key phrases for my ‘what I’m looking for’ section on my dating app

So next step is clearly /farcasterfridays and/or /farcon-nyc or one of the many IRL options available.

Great to hear this from you Having previously been involved in the political community on Twitter, I rarely meet disrespectful and fanatical individuals here on Farcaster.

Yes! Thanks for coming and sticking around! You nailed my sentiments especially #2, there is a breaking-ground, forging new paths vibe here that feels unique in today’s internet and social media.
