My take after thinking on "Merkle doesn't listen to its users" is that if you put the work into your request, they will help you. Same thing for Base.

When we have asked for something, the team has helped/documented/prioritized that thing.

Can't think of anything they haven't done for us or outright ignored.

not going to wade deeply into this discourse except to say that the average Farcaster user has way more access to the founders and team (perhaps insanely more) than any other platform I can think of or anywhere I've worked. we say "tag us on the TL" because that's where we are. paradoxically, this can make it worse.

I work at the posts office

(doesn't mean we can't do better at managing everything downstream of that tag or DM. but we do see it, all day every day)
