the assumptions about farcaster culture are more damaging than actual farcaster culture

assumption: people hate solana, hate memecoins, everyone is base and eth "aligned" and has a stick up ass etc.

reality: literally nobody gaf you can say whatever you want it's chill, the above is cope to justify self censoring

this ain't it

you wanna go viral on here and climb the leaderboard? talk about how great Farcaster is + how great Base is

you want to come on here and critique Farcaster or Base? you will get limited reach, it's just the way it is

incentivizing things @ poidh.xyz - come chill /poidh + follow @poidhbot

idk, looking at the leaderboard i see some folks who are quite critical of base eg zinger and keccers

i think it's perfectly possible to do great on here while being critical of fc/base or even not talking about crypto at all

i don't think good faith criticism = controversial, people enjoy the discussion and tbh would probably be more drawn to a new user who had feedbacks and criticism than the nth bullposter (though the latter does give cheap engagement i think)

if someone started out saying straight up inflammatory stuff then yea that would be a losing strategy. but imo honesty and quality are rewarded here regardless of what the actual opinion is

exceptions to the rule (and early FIDs with established audiences)

step back and take a second to consider this scenario

you're talking to a new person joining Farcaster and recommending to them how to build an audience on here

they post good content in general + have honest, quality critiques of Farcaster and Base

do you think sharing those critiques will help them or hurt them in building an audience here? would it be better they stick to non-controversial content?

For the record I think cointent is dumb and would no matter what chain it’s on 😂 

Whole thing reeks of “I am 
out of ideas but desperately need ideas”
