downshift. 🏎️💨

farcaster is dead. it was not, in fact, sufficiently decentralized. what are the best life boats? we cannot effectively coordinate here. i'll run a fucking discord server myself, i don't care. whatever the fk it takes 🏎️ if you don't want to say anything publicly, i *completely* understand. use an alt, dc me here, or find me elsewhere https://x.com/0xdownshift (dms open) [email protected] (also lmk if and what i should add to this list. we cannot be stopped.) 🫴🪵🔥

I think of farcaster as a trial run for true decentralization. to me this is a totally new concept. does it have to work for our futures? yes. is scoffing at what this has created valuable? yes! we are seeing realtime just what needs editing. and most of that is stewardship. trust. radical interconnection. honesty. listening. perspectives. failures. loads and loads of them. we don’t need another iteration of the internet. we the people need to change our selves. the metrics we use, are inherently flawed. we need to stop looking at ways to extract and start looking for ways to improve togetherness. decentralization is not a product we buy or a protocol we deploy. it is a collective way of being. what we are seeing is the architecture of our own readiness for that way of being… and where we must grow. 🌱🫶🏻

what do you think is dead about it? if it's the decentralization, isn't X even more dead by that measure?

Just scrolled replies and I can’t find the explanation behind your provocation. Taken literally, it can’t be dead bc we are communicating on it. :) So what makes it dead in your opinion? Or is this just a vent or bait?

the tech stack has always been a larp no cryptoeconomic incentives in the node-client relationship means it was doomed from day 1 refusal of leadership to acknowledge the issue or talk about it is a big red flag but the community is the real deal, and merkle has the war chest to keep the charade up for another decade or so, so im still glad to be here

I haven’t been able to interact lately, I’ve kinda stayed off all platforms. Been teaching and trying to find money in all different avenues. I recently discovered Air BnB Experiences where I’m going to offer a marble hunt, Bigfoot hunts etc… If I relied solely on the internet though, I might as well go hop trains with my banjo, forever. I spent 5 years and a lot of money minting art, very few would buy. It’s been a long time coming, to walk a different path, for a bit.

Can’t tolerate x or discord. Both seem more cooked than cooked.

I feel this, imho its phases, hopefully there's a many-client truly decentralized future for the protocol. I still find this cozy corner of the internet a bit better than lesser cozier corners. But let me know if you do make a discord/tg/whatever to join brother
