Degen

I think the first thing that has to go is this shortlist of influential people that are dominating the Farcaster feed since I joined in January 2024. Let's call them the OGs.

The OGs that were on the autofollow list and gained 1000s of followers in early 2024 by design are now deciding who ranks high on the rewards leaderboard.

You can easily spot OGs in the trending feed, they are there every single day. Their casts are trending even without any engagement.

These OGs also decide when your casts are trending and pushed by the algo by engaging with your cast.

This is one big reason why im using Farcaster less and less..

I’ve also been enjoying life off chain for a bit, i will forever be grateful for this place and i will never leave it

But the amount of “cult among the OGs” is ridiculous.. 

I was able to grow a lot on this platform and be influencial, even more than the OGs.. if we look at the numbers i was getting 10 times more interactions then people with 200k followers😂

And i think they didnt like that newcomers like me were able to steal their spotlight, simply with charisma, funny memes and art..

So they’ve built this system that @mvr is taking about, which it’s so obvious even blind people can see.

And dont even get me started on how they never truly accepted that $DEGEN is what made Farcaster what it is today.. 

Never cooperated with @jacek , never admited that $DEGEN is the actual native token of Farcaster..

They did work with Moxie tho, funny eh?
