Farcaster

Theory: no coin, no community.

That is: in the absence of shared purpose, digital communities break down into status signaling and endless conflict. 

So, I’m thinking of opening up a prize for a service that makes it easy to create and admin token-gated subnetworks on the Farcaster protocol.

there are multiple things that could've contributed to this. the wider ecology of twitter itself has changed, maybe bc elon, maybe other things like tiktok. a bunch of us have become tired busy parents. some poasters stopped posting entirely. maybe some projects were ~completed

been talking with some of the olds about maybe trying to rekindle things somehow– maybe on here, maybe somewhere else, but i think the main thing is actually the projects. without poaster-driven projects, i think we mostly end up with lowest common denominator slop discourse

Strong communities are created around purpose, passions, dreams or lifestyle. Vegans create great purpose communities, writers and poets passion ones, nomads and indie hackers have a shared lifestyle. Tokens are not central to communities but could be a tool. Community is built around something you do no something you like … that is a fan base.
