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

I don’t want you to go. I think I understand your frustration. Where can I contact you in the future? Can I do anything to encourage you to stay?

Can someone clarify this for me? @pichi @woj.eth ? I don’t understand was @compez.eth banned because of their geographic location ? Are there countries that are banned from Farcaster ? Did they lose their badge, or is it something else entirely ? I’m really confused thank you !

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. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

It's hard to read posts like this... it's a shame the community is losing a developer.
