@jameecornelia on going viral on X & hitting the web3 ceiling: "how much can one grow in a small community, how do you transcend the borders of web3??" is something we're asking ourselves in LF daily!!

Niches are great but how do you break out of the niche as a content creator for the sake of growth?? -> 🌶️

What's the weirdest group chat you're a part of?

For me, it's a chat run by my friend and his boyfriend where they send us hilarious screenshots from Grindr (Tinder for gays) conversations.
