"Merkle just helps its friends"

How many times do I have to repeat that most users and developers on Farcaster did not know Varun or myself prior to joining Farcaster.

And in some cases have *become* friends because they stuck around early on when no one else cared. We've spent years with this people socializing on this social network. :)

Don't conflate something that's earned / built with cronyism.

i saw someone mention farcaster on twitter, so i looked up dan (i knew nothing about him before that) and sent him a DM on halloween night 2022. he sent me an invite that very night, and my life hasn't been the same since.

farcaster's greatest value has always been its community. it is the best open community not only in crypto, but in all of tech.

because knowing is finding the limits /outercorps

IRL: Creative Director who makes movies and ads.

yea! it was really small for a while. even seven months later there were only a few dozen of us at farcon 2023. it's grown a lot in the past year!

are you here for this long? 2022? wowo it's like seeing a whole city being made right? :d

I joined Farcaster October 31, 2022 when @dwr.eth was a guest of @toadyhawk.eth on The Noun Square and dan invited Nouns folk to DM for an invite.  

When did you join Farcaster and who/what got you here?

Seems like Halloween 2022 was a big night for Warpcast signups!  Thx for the origin  story. Followed.

The community here is great, no hate of bad vibes
Just genuine people and love

This story is amazing. Great to see how the community is developing even though it has been so early

This is so sweet. Grateful to be here. The sky is just the starting point. 🫂

Before joining Farcaster, I didn’t ever understand what people meant when they would preach about the power of community. Now it makes total sense.

When community groundwork is laid, you can only go up from there
If lost, issues start arising🚀

+100 🔥 FIRE tip dispatched. Do check your balance.

Shows how one person can literally change one’s life for good

it is true that the greatest value is community and i always remember that every smallest member in warpcast together will become a huge value
