I wrote an unplanned 2000-word response, in first-person journal style, to these thoughtful questions. 

It's kinda spicy, and it's not everyone's cuppa. But it also wants to be shared in a Farcaster context.

So instead of posting it publicly, I'm going to token-gate it for my current Fan Token holders (.5 and higher), and also share it in a private link with @manansh and the friends who bid on my Fan Tokens early but were outbid by snipers. 

I'm using @moxiescout to get the list of early bidder names. (https://moxiescout.vercel.app/auction/8451)

Release date will be Monday, Dec. 16.

Update on my plans to release a token-gated journal writing: 

Today I learned that @paragraph deprecated the token gating feature last month. (See the comments for more info if you missed this announcement, as I did).

Oy. It hadn't even occurred to me that this might be an issue.

So I'll need to take time to give further thought to other options for token-gating in the future.

For tomorrow's release, I'll just send the private link to all the token holders + early bidders via DCs in a group chat.

Addendum: as of this writing, 29 people will receive the private link in DCs. 

I'm not going to tag everyone, but if you're in either one of these categories, you'll receive it:

1) You hold .5 or higher of my Moxie Fan Token as of Monday, Dec. 16.

2) You were an early bidder in my Fan Token auction who got outbid by flippers (as per this list: https://moxiescout.vercel.app/auction/8451).

Thanks for adding early bidders as well 💜 

I'm personally not a fan of token gating access, I think ownership (minting) makes more sense.

I love to mint favorite quotes that resonate with me, instead of a whole @paragraph article, I hope they still keep this feature.

You're welcome, @y0b. Rewarding early bidders with exclusive access pieces is something I'd been hoping to do sooner. 

I'd like to release several more pieces to limited audiences, but now that I can't do that on Paragraph, I'll need some time to think through my other options. 

I love to mint quotes too, but I don't see much of that happening on Paragraph. It feels like this is a missed opportunity. I've minted some quotes, but there's no good place to collect them where I can build the appropriate context to make the best of them and help others find good writing.
