Cameron Armstrong on Farcaster

Dan Romero pfp

What's on your mind re: Farcaster? Feels like there's been a subtle uptick in negativity recently directed at a variety of people / teams. I'd rather that be directed my way. Curious to hear what people are frustrated with in the replies. Will only ask clarifying questions, i.e. no arguing or defending or telling you that you're wrong. And then I'll do a video response in a few days sharing our latest thinking based on any common themes.

Observation (not judgment or accusation) about my FC behavior: My reach, engagement, and quality of interaction here feels down bad from the earlier days of FC. My feed itself has shifted to a hodgepodge of stuff that for whatever reason rarely makes me stop my scroll. A lot of my early friends from FC feel much less active or fully inactive these days. As a result of these 3 things, I don't really even enjoy opening the app anymore. That said, I still check it every day. You know how much of a casting addict I used to be, but now I feel like I mostly cast as a hedge on if/when Farcaster starts growing again. I've tried to figure out whether it's a reduction in meaningful conversation, a shift from a relationship platform to a broadcast platform, or if the topics people want to converse about just aren't up my alley, but honestly I'm not sure. I don't want this to be my attitude, but transparently this is pretty much where I'm at rn.

> feel much less active If you check their profiles, are they casting and you aren’t seeing it? Or is it they are actually less active?

Totally agree with you. Don't know what´s exactly going on, but it has becomed a bit boring specially because you don't get any interactions anymore. I guess the ratio of casts to noise is high and it is difficult for them to handle it properly. In any case, it feels more like any other social network unfortunately.
