Some recent changes to FC and @cassie's talk about the new fork... have given me more hope! So I’m planning to set up a Farcaster node inside Iran as soon as possible. I had considered this before, but due to its relatively centralized nature, it wasn’t feasible. With these recent changes, to help make this happen, anyone interested in contributing to the costs or helping develop the network, please let me know. These conditions have now clearly shown that we need to build a local node for this—of course, in a fully decentralized way on a reliable infrastructure. Some of the benefits of this initiative, especially considering the new fork, would be: 1) A local network (accessible even during outages or restrictions) Supporting an Iranian Farcaster node on a global level (without concerns about bans or limitations) 2) Contributing to protocol development and integration with the global open community 3) Building an Iranian community to support and grow Farcaster-based blockchain ecosystems 4) Creating better opportunities for the Web3 community to grow and thrive Let’s keep this here for now—I’ll share more details later.

There was a time when everything felt tied to Sony’s exclusivity — a peak that was especially visible during the PS1 era and, more importantly, the PS2 generation. Anyone who grew up gaming around that time, especially people my age, knows exactly what I mean. Back then, games weren’t just multi-platform products. Each console represented a closed ecosystem with its own identity and culture. The slogan “Only on PlayStation” wasn’t just marketing — it was a cultural boundary. It signified that certain experiences were only meaningful when tied to that specific hardware. Games like Metal Gear Solid or Gran Turismo were perfect examples of this philosophy.
