I think if Farcaster wants to become the social status game of Ethereum‘s who is who, it needs to get rid of the Farcaster aristocracy. Otherwise, what status game is it implementing? Not clear to me

Are we part of the aristocracy? Because if so i agree.

I'm hoping new feed algorithms will make this better, but I also think that this will naturally happen as new clients emerge and new ways of tracking relationships emerge

I don‘t count myself as part of them. Let me be straussian and say: I think my membership has been tested and I was rejected because I‘m an enfant terrible that poses too much risk upon entry. Given that you have 5k more followers and since you present as fairly „brand-safe,“ you‘re more in than me.

btw do you think a person has to match one of these prongs or all of them?

lol I'm always surprised when ppl have that perception. I've frequently felt like I didn't belong here because:
1. I'm not libertarian
2. I don't suck pmarca's toes
3. I think nfts are about as interesting as any other datastructure
4. I'm not e/acc

Just those 4 have frequently been enough to make me feel out of place
