Farcaster was a 'fun' experiment, but I feel like I no longer fit here. Things that have bothered me: * taking away usernames * taking away channels from people who have paid * the neutering of channels (unless you pay!) * the constant onslaught of token spam * the constant onslaught of apps, frames, etc * removing the different clients from the webpage * basically forcing all clients to validate through warpcast => client monopoly * pro accounts (lmfao, I legit thought this was a joke/meme) probably way more that I'm forgetting. Without farcaster I would not have discovered Crypto Leftists however, which has been imo the only real shining light in a sea of capitalist/exploitative dogshit that is crypto culture. It has also been very refreshing to meet other like-minded leftists along the way. But I don't vibe with the culture of this app whatsoever. To me it's everything that crypto-haters/skeptics say is repulsive about crypto. I know that I'm basically nobody so who cares, but I'm done cya!

I know this likely won't reach the target audience, but let's show some solidarity! Awake IL is targeting Naperville 203, & Councilman McBroom is attacking a middle schooler. Trans students face bullying. We must stand up! Pack the room. Hate doesn’t belong here. Every TGNC student deserves safety & support. Spread the word. Bring friends. Show up & speak out!

Andor makes every other Star Wars movie/show look cheesy af and childish. That includes the originals that I grew up with as well. Put away your nostalgia. Andor / Rogue One is the best Star Wars writing period. Hands down.

Thoughts from a leftist perspective? I admit I've been really really jaded lately with crypto projects. I find it hard to understand how they help everyday people 🤷‍♂️ https://x.com/The_HaqqNetwork/status/1922203082001416477
