I believe that FC is a decentralized illusion! Despite all my support and efforts to spread it. ⛔ All the mini-apps I’ve built — thoughtfully, passionately, with real utility — have quietly disappeared from the Farcaster MiniApp Store. No explanation. No transparency. Just gone. Because I am Persian. I receive zero in rewards — not even a single cent — despite months of contributions. My posts go unseen, unsupported, even when they're creative, constructive, or community-focused. Because I am Persian. I’ve been banned from any programs — quietly pushed out without any valid justification. I’ve been excluded from programming competitions and initiatives meant to foster innovation. Because I am Persian. And yet, I kept building. Not because I expected favors. Not because I wanted to chase clout. But because I am Persian — and being Persian means I create despite the odds.

I build because I believe in the power of software to empower people. I build because I carry the responsibility of showing what a Persian developer can do — especially when the gatekeepers look the other way. The rare rewards I did receive in the early days? They were spent entirely on server costs and keeping services online — for the benefit of the community, not myself. It has become painfully clear that Farcaster is not the open, decentralized, permissionless place it claims to be. It’s a curated club — one where only a select few are celebrated, amplified, and rewarded. It’s not about your ideas. It’s about who you are and where you're from. That’s not decentralization. That’s discrimination — just wrapped in a purple UI. And that’s shameful. This isn't just a technical failure. It’s a human one. And it’s deeply disheartening to see the ideals of Web3 — openness, equality, censorship resistance — reduced to selective favoritism.

I’m not writing this for sympathy. I don’t want your rewards. You’ve withheld them for a year — and I kept creating anyway. But now, I’ve had enough. This is my final message here. Farcaster — you don’t get to define who I am. You don’t get to tell me I don’t belong. you are racist and you are practicing discrimination here. I was building before you, and I will keep building long after. Because I am Persian. And I will show the world what that means. I'll continue my idea and launch token as well, but without FC. You don't value developers, you value those you love. Goodbye. — Prince of Persia

My brother, as an Iranian, I'm proud of you. Web3 promised fairness and transparency, but it let you and many of us down. Your resilience shines. Keep creating, show the world the brilliance of a Persian developer. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
