The best scripts are written by Life... A little over a month ago, I went to a Vipassana course - a 10-day silent meditation retreat known for its intensity, structure, and strict discipline. I left on Day 6. Not because the sitting was too much. Not because I couldn’t handle the silence. Not because I was rebelling. I left because at some point I had to choose my values over discipline & traditions. I had to follow my own path rather than someone else's. And all of it surfaced because my Love got sick very bad. I chose presence over dogma. Compassion over completion. My own decision over following. And since then, it changed how I engage & relate to my environment completely. My partner and I are creating a video series about these turning points that changed our Life & shaped a movement we bring to life called Planet.108. This is a /firstdraft script.

** The Farcaster Settlement ** (my /firstdraft ) I was talking to someone struggling to find their way on FC & wanted to give them an illustration of life here. And I wanted it to not only explain it but give them something to feel. I like the Singapore illustration--low population, high GDP--but it's hard to feel. So, I said FC is like a group settling a new frontier. To me, this captures the positive-sum nature of FC. How does a group of people settle a new world? People find their roles in serving the greater good, serving the existence of the village. It seems the people who have best found their way on FC, have found their role in supporting the village. A new settlement needs governing. Here, that's the FC team especially @dwr.eth & @v . It needs economic support & development. That's the biggest list here, but especially @jacek @betashop.eth @deployer . The village needs 'spiritual' or moral help like @july . But it needs all kinds of people... 1/2 cont'd ⬇️

My /firstdraft is my vote & thoughts on /farcon-nyc talks My criteria are heavy toward broader value, live & video beyond nyc #29 'Build For Yourself' by @mark | /firstdraft is an unsung model for building that's realistic for many #34 'Stop Chasing & Start Believing' by @debbie | Maybe the most potential reach & need. Appreciate how debbie presents herself & her journey #26 'Ship Networks Not Products' by @jihad | Love his thinking & writing. He's teased this topic & it's strong #35 'Farcaster Flywheel' by @phil | he's in it & doing it; gets it. We all need to get this #22 'Fries > Guys' by @jessyjeanne | I have no plans for a hyperfeminine, sassy brand myself, but I appreciate how Jessy blends fun with serious work & think many could benefit #14 'Next Show Onchain' by @anaroth | I'm biased, but any talk that opens a better storytelling discussion needs to be heard by all Note: I think @loriann 'stretch break' should be included & not count as a talk Appreciate all the work going into these!

Are Channels Still the Future of Farcaster? (🧵) I used to think so. Now? Not so sure. Back in April 2024, spam was everyone’s problem on Farcaster. Then the channel overhaul happened and shifted the spam burden to hosts. If your channel is full of spam, it’s on you: Gate better. Moderate harder. Ban faster. It’s exhausting and most channel hosts have ignored it or automated it, confusing new folks and aggravating old ones who can’t cast into channels freely. Fast forward to April 2025: spammers got smarter. The current model aggressively flags most users as low-value. 80% of casts are orphaned—no replies, no recasts, no likes. Worse, casting into channels doesn’t trigger spam labels, which flipped the whole dynamic and spammers gravitate to casting into some channels hoping for visibility.
