Farcaster began as a book club in 2020 run by Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan in a Slack called "Warpcast" before evolving into a decentralized social protocol.
The "purple pill" represents Farcaster's balanced web2/web3 approach. "Warplet" is the community term for profile pictures. And "-37" became a meme from an early bug showing negative follower counts.
