bad-takes

there’s a clear lack of conversation around the channels stuff on farcaster.
echo chambers are bad and we do a disservice to farcaster long term if we:

- always agree 100% with what @dwr.eth says and does / dont hold people accountable
- are afraid to speak out about things, specifically the larger accounts here

Bankless should have the channel “for the greater good” but they should have had to pay a premium. Squatters suck, but that’s part of an open free market no?

agreed. why didn’t bankless make the channel earlier? why do they get it now?

Being a feature on a centralized client doesn’t imo preclude it from being worth a premium. Is Mr. Beasts X account worth anything?

Yeah but what about channels in its current architecture suggests it’s an asset on some public ledger rather than a feature on a centralized client?

Building Tally.xyz.
Passionate about DAOs.

What’s funny is I heard about it on discord, linked to twitter. @briang the fiat I’ve seen talking about it on FC. Not worth linking. Everything is in this thread.

is there a link to this going on? whats the DRAMA?!

agree @bankless should’ve bought the channel. they need to walk the walk more than they talk the talk.

but sets a bad precedent. if we want farcaster to succeed, we need brands to be building their communities here.

if every brand has to fight for their channel name, they’re not gonna come.

then we all lose.
