Is there any way or tool to bulk erase all my casts history with only one click? I loved to do that on Twitter once a year, and I would like to do it now before leaving Farcaster for a while.

I decided that I’ll uninstall Farcaster today, before going to bed. It just doesn’t feel like the social network I was imagining, one that would bring real value to society using Web3 primitives, but rather just another niche Web3 space focused on the financialization of every aspect of life. So there’s a lot of frustration coming from my own expectations, and for the past few weeks, the feed just hasn’t been enjoyable anymore. I’ll keep managing @vocdoni and occasionally checking in via the website to boost Vocdoni casts with my own account, but I don’t expect to be active anytime soon, at least not over the summer. See you soon, and have a great summer, everyone! ❤️🌴

The most revealing part of today is Musk essentially admitting that buying Twitter wasn’t about making it a better and more open social network, but rather about entrenching the status quo and amplifying an authoritarian, right-wing agenda. Today opens another opportunity for Farcaster to differentiate from X and Musk. Will probably not happen.

1/6 I was reading this new paper on how 300K academics migrated from X to Bluesky, and I wanted to share some reflections because it shows quite clearly how social networks actually grow. What I’m about to say isn’t new. I’ve often been critical of Farcaster’s current growth strategy, and that’s because it’s not grounded in how networks or virality really work. Instead, it feels that FC is based on well-funded wishful thinking: abstract ideas wrapped in the language of innovation, blending Read/Write/Own concepts with old-school Silicon Valley consumer app logic… without fully committing to either. At the end of the day it leans heavily on FOMO and incentives to drive (low-quality) growth. (Farcaster Pro subscriptions stalling as soon as users -or bots- hit the 10k NFT reward cap is a perfect example of this.) And yes, experimentation is great. Some of the best ideas emerge from it. But we also have a long-established understanding of how humans (as social and emotional animals) behave.

🐁🪤Today, I intercepted this intruder that was eating my dog’s food. I caught it and set him free on my countryside. And you, what heroic acts have you accomplished today?

We built Votecaster.io, the first universally verifiable poll system for Farcaster, using @vocdoni's voting infra and Frames v1. — Vote directly from any Farcaster client. — Supports multiple censuses: all Farcaster users, followers, channels, NFT/ERC20 holders — Used by DAOs and communities for internal governance, like @thehaberdashery, ProxyswapDAO or BLEU. — Besides community governance, Votecaster also hosted hundreds of polls with thousands of verifiable votes — Features include liquid delegation, DM notifications, voter tracking, and onchain verifiability While not our current focus, we’re seeking support to evolve Votecaster into a Farcaster miniapp and eventually integrate it with our next-gen protocol DAVINCI.vote, enabling onchain-grade, gasless, anonymous governance. 🔗 Votecaster.io #farcasterrpgfspring2025

I found this rabbit crossing the road today while I was driving and I had to keep it. Named it Bad Bunny right away. I took it to the vet, did X Ray. They say nothing is broken but it can’t walk and doesn’t seem to have sensitivity in their legs. Got antiinflamatories, now let’s see how it develops in the next hours.
