Wild how much my Farcaster timeline quality has already improved just after a single acquisition announcement.

farcaster

Farcaster as a liquid social layer, able to flow in all directions and enter every gap to make apps and solutions for things like governance, games, gated communities or chats, more social and more easy to build. The social glue that makes Web3 easy and fun to use in any scenario (not only financial). I’d love to see...

Excited to share that Neynar is acquiring Farcaster from Merkle. This means we will now maintain the Farcaster protocol, run the Farcaster client and operate Clanker. As part of this change - @dish and part of the Clanker team will be joining Neynar. @neynar is the software platform for the @farcaster ecosystem. A

Really excited to see where Farcaster goes next!

It’s worth analyzing Farcaster’s statistics from time to time. The network has been in a downtrend since it pivoted into a social wallet and the growth strategy based on financial incentives alone. If you look at the most engaging accounts, many of them are low-quality spam accounts or outright bots (something easy to ...

> I am closing on my first house next week with money that was almost entirely made on Farcaster. Degen, Higher, Anon, Clanker, Aether.

Even if I’m kinda bearish about Farcaster current direction, I met dozens of great people here. Made beautiful connections and discovered great projects. Bcs of this, I’m considering going to /farcon-rome. I’m not a conference guy, but would love to meet (and meet again) some of you. So, who is going?

Now our voting protocol is available to any Web2 organization within a SaaS Platform. So they can use Web3 voting tech for their AGMs, board elections, referendums, and more :D Bringing blockchain tech to the masses? Yep!

The biggest tension on Farcaster right now seems to be that the current value add of the app is supposed to be making money, but some users feel like they are being used as the liquidity for other people to make money.

Omg what a shitshow. You literally click on the address that he published on his cast and **Farcaster** opens a new actionable screen with a scam coin, literally a UX you built around memecoins and social gambling. But instead of apologizing you start shooting everyone that supported you on the network. Just insane 🤡

> post something > someone creates a token based off it > why did you make me buy the token?

I’ve been saying this for months. You don’t get a public square by using the blueprints for a casino. If the whole system is wired for extraction and social interaction financialization, everything it touches turns into something extractive and financialized. And that will be the key metrics they will set to measure. T...

🥀 Farcaster client is not a social app anymore, this is a trading app >> trading apps do not care about growing as a social network >> trading apps care about generating profits from fees >> re: Farcaster client removing social features

Feels like we’re watching the beginning of the end for creator coins, guys. They’ll not say it openly, but you can already feel it and they’re probably thinking about the new narrative to sale. A bunch of cryptobros and techbros tried to turn social life into a mini-Wall Street with creator tokens, memecoins, tipping ...
