"Why I'm considering leaving Farcaster for XYZ and other acts of self-inflicted sabotage" Ok hopefully that's a decent hook to get you in here. Firstly, these comments are coming from a place of caring. So please keep that in mind. I think some folks here have (hopefully temporarily) lost the plot, or haven't really made the effort to understand it when coming here in the first place. Everyone here right now has the incredible privilege of being part of a small, tight-knit community of people - many of whom have a proven track record of delivering really impressive products with millions of users. Remember - this is a social graph being built that is not controlled by a single corporation that can change or revoke your access to it at their whim. You want to go back that sort of environment from here? Seriously? People talking like this are just telegraphing that they have put zero energy into truly understanding what is going on here and what is at stake.

This space is full to the brim with people who are passionate about building a better online experience than what we currently have. Have you tried genuinely connecting with any of them, using their apps that they're making, offering constructive feedback? Or have you been deeply unserious about the things you should be serious about (the tech, connecting with others, growing along with the network), and far too serious about trying to make easy money, then getting upset when the latest trend you chase doesn't work out? If you're going to be here - be here. But if you leave to go off somewhere else chasing whatever the now current thing is - the result isn't going to be any different for you there either.

Deep words here mate. But have you also thought of the impact it have on people with genuine matters to discuss with “top casters” but they were yanked off probably because they see it as bait? What would you implore those set of people to do?

Well you can't really do much about how other people end up perceiving you, so I think the best thing anyone can do is try to not take things personally, realize that everyone has their own life that they're living and they are likely not harboring any ill will towards you and are just busy with their own different set of priorities. Connecting with people takes time, so just stick with it and you'll find the circle that matters.
