I've been a part of the art community for 2.5 years on X & now here for a few months, & I can tell you with certainty that artists on @farcaster are at a crossroads. Best case 1: There's some foundational shift where the fc ecosystem elevates these "quality content" creators & they can have a meaningful existence here. Best Case 2: They go explore Lens or maybe back to X (where despite the algo, they get some recognition for their art from their peers). Worst case: They get disenchanted with web3 altogether because they've been scammed, rugged, ignored, reduced to a number & pretty much treated like second class citizens regardless of where they exist. I worry about this the most. Irony 1: The art community is the most vibrant community any social community can have. We literally have generational talent hanging out amongst us & most of us are unaware. Irony 2: Artists who are here are the most tech forward of the normie bunch we'd wanna onboard. Biggest assets for any social platform. 1/2 🧵

Thanks for the ping @manuwilliams 🤘🫶 I’d love to see best case 1 play out. I think I’m at worst case x 10. I’ve been rugged, robbed, shadow banned, zero visibility etc etc for the last 3 years on X, here, IG, where I’m just numb. I’ve seen copies of my work and hard to get past where the others work gets more interest. It’s frustrating but I continue on. I’ve been lucky to have a few wins more recently (and grateful) with having my work get recognized or selected for exhibitions. I had a good feeling getting on here the first season, second and third but then time and interest slipped. There are other platforms where just communicating with others on a genuine level pays you. It’s part of a web3 project/ community that’s really been the constant over the last 3 years. I haven’t tried lens but heard about it. I’m usually one to try something out as an early adopter but not sure if it’s worth it. So many platforms, not enough time.
