is there a way to deactivate this option of buying casts on my account? even if i'm no longer using farcaster, my words aren't for sale, and i fundamentally disagree with this practice

I hear you and I agree to an extent 

but there's lots of things that will be commodified whether you like it or not so I think that taking a more active role in that commodification is a positive thing for creators/authors/etc

because not everything should be priced. when presence becomes performance and words become assets, something essential dies: grace, love, dignity, silence. i write to connect, not to be commodified

i see thats why you considering leaving here

I also don’t find it a good feature. Very weird. 
But it might be useful for people casting artworks.

There is. And I wish you don’t stop using farcaster. Maybe firefly to cross post at least

Hahahaha😂
Stay please, we love you here
