Any Grand Rapids/Chicago/Detroit things I should do while I live here for another month or so?

For the next month and a half, this is my crew, good people.

Tacoma, WA ⏩ Grand Rapids, MI

Cleaning the windshield at every gas station.

At the core, LO is about creating and encouraging a sense of shared place.

But regularly I run into a desire to filter out results, to personalize the experience and tailor the map to an individuals needs.

I'm thinking about a structural change, and I'd love your input:

sometimes i get restless about farcaster’s pace, then i open x, bluesky, or reddit & remember: fc is still the least toxic room on the public forum

everything we grumble about here—hyper-financialization, ai sludge, echo-chamber groupthink—exists everywhere else at 10× scale

that’s not a farcaster flaw; it’s the web in 2025… open forums can’t sustain real signal

bots, yield-seekers, and low-effort content overwhelm niche expertise… as the dead-internet materializes, real conversation will retreat behind walls

the winning pattern is small, curated networks: 15-person group chats, 150-member private servers—numbers that track with dunbar’s limits on trust—these groups have almost exclusively pushed the world forward these last 20 years…

nations, firms & creators that control their own walled gardens capture both mind-share & margin…

geopolitically, socially, philosophically… the future is not “open” despite what the technocrats tell you

it’s closed

Maybe we need to make group chats more sticky, not channels.

Forget about channels.

6. People don’t switch platforms for features they switch for feelings. A sense of belonging, status, novelty, or escape drives behavior more than a cleaner UI or another toggle. If you’re only pitching utility, you’re missing the real lever: identity.

What is the Farcaster version of the HIGHER horse meme? What is the feeling of Farcaster that we can meme?

I'd like to build a cab only 4x4 sprinter with a fold down side bed. 
I'm a big sucker for commercial grade utility.

Of course i don't need a new truck, but I like to dream.

Electronic Music

Casting into a channel, feeling a little disoriented after finding out channels do nothing?
