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 🧵

you expanded greatly on something i wrote here early on in the year - more about the loyal part than the features. outside and out of control factors do play a role in all of this, and I do respect FAFO, but i will die on this hill: the introduction of the Power Badge was a shot in the foot in the FC ecosystem. Big time. It came at a time that things were flourishing (yes, degen tipping helped but it was not all) and put a lot of people in limbo. The feature itself and the attitude/treatment were a big bummer, to say the least. https://warpcast.com/rodrigobardin/0x1720517d

Thanks for chiming in and for your cast. I can only imagine the challenges the fc team faces when dealing with the issue of bots. Whether we like it or not, not every change is going to work out for all users. It is up to us to take it further. Everyone is iterating and experimenting, including the platform.

i agree and def understand how difficult the issue with bots is. no easy solution to that. feels like the only way is trial & error, plus constant iteration. read a ton of different perspectives in the last months (as long as it's kept on a respectful level, it's a good discussion to have as everyone will benefit from it) and think there's enough for the team to consider and act if they are open to hear feedback.
