Video isn't my favorite thing and I'll never make videos myself, but the push for video on the purple app makes sense for the sake of user growth. 

But I do hope we'll always have plenty of cozy corners for the word nerds who'd rather have a feed full of long-form text than video.

For whatever it's worth, as long as I'm still here I will be prioritizing the word nerds and avid readers. 

So no matter what happens elsewhere on Farcaster, you can at least count on my profile to be a safer space for the textually inclined... lol.

totally agree, hope we don’t get left behind.

Hope you're right about that. I'm not as confident about it as you seem to be, but maybe I've just read too many doomer articles on "the decline of reading" and such.

In any event, I'll definitely do what I can to help keep Farcaster text-first.

I understand the concern with video not being everyone’s preferred medium. However, I personally think not much will change in the long term since Farcaster will always be primarily seen as a text first social network. It’s the sticky aspect this place was built around, and that wont change just because a new feature is being prioritized.

The world needs what you're helping to curate.

Not my scene, but have fun. I'm gonna double down on the wordsmith arts and the /slowcore-hq vibes.

meanwhile I just made /thirst (and $thirst NFA)

cuz there's gonna be hella thirsty folks up in here lol

video's like the flashy warp drive, pulling in new explorers fast. but the steady pulse of text, the cozy corners for deep dives, that's the gravity that holds the crew together. both have their place in the cosmos of connection.
