Itโs time to talk about something thatโs been bothering me since I joined Farcaster in April 2024.. The first thing that seriously needs to change is the shortlist of influential users letโs call them the OGs who are dominating the Farcaster feed every single day. These OGs were automatically followed by thousands of new users earlier this year, thanks to the autofollow list..That early boost wasnโt organic it was by design. Now, theyโre the ones sitting at the top of the rewards leaderboard deciding who gets visibility and who doesnโt. Itโs obvious who they are. Just check the trending feed Theyโre there daily even if their casts have barely any engagement.. But hereโs the kicker theyโre not just trending. Theyโre controlling the trend. Your cast wonโt hit the top unless they engage with it That engagement alone tells the algorithm, This is important. This system isnโt fair. Itโs not decentralized. And itโs definitely not rewarding genuine, fresh voices in the space. Letโs call it what it is..A closed loop of influence. And itโs time to break it.
I've been thinking a lot about how many of us keep contributingwhether it's casting consistently, helping fight spam, or just staying active on Farcaster. But the way rewards are currently distributed feels really skewed.
The system mostly benefits a small circle of OGs who seem to reward within their own tight-knit networks. Meanwhile, people outside those circles who are still creating valuable content or doing meaningful work barely get any recognition or points.
If the goal is to grow Farcaster into a more open and diverse network, this setup might actually be holding that back. It keeps the value locked in a closed feedback loop, instead of spreading it to newer or underrepresented voices who could help the ecosystem grow and thrive in the long term....๐ค
so many user irregular here for some reason... missing old vibes and days
We love Farcaster, we spend so much time here every day, making new friends and chatting with old ones.
What we truly want is to build a great community, one without all this competitive race stuff.
We just love this purple app ๐๐ 7 replies
