Degen

This is one big reason why im using Farcaster less and less..

I’ve also been enjoying life off chain for a bit, i will forever be grateful for this place and i will never leave it

But the amount of “cult among the OGs” is ridiculous.. 

I was able to grow a lot on this platform and be influencial, even more than the OGs.. if we look at the numbers i was getting 10 times more interactions then people with 200k followers😂

And i think they didnt like that newcomers like me were able to steal their spotlight, simply with charisma, funny memes and art..

So they’ve built this system that @mvr is taking about, which it’s so obvious even blind people can see.

And dont even get me started on how they never truly accepted that $DEGEN is what made Farcaster what it is today.. 

Never cooperated with @jacek , never admited that $DEGEN is the actual native token of Farcaster..

They did work with Moxie tho, funny eh?

Farcaster feels split, the elite crowd (Coinbase mafia, VCs, Ivy grads) and the rest and the folks without products, clout, or notable affiliations. With Degen app, I want to build something more open and raw. It’ll feel spammy, sure, but that’s the tradeoff. Not trying to over-moderate or curate for elites.

What @trebor69 casted is so true, am really waiting the app to be active there a lot more than here!
$DEGEN was the first thing i heard about when I was invited to "warpcast" and it was the reason I get attached even addicted sometimes.
Yesterday I casted about Degen army not meaning it seriously, but seems there will be a real Degen army who is ready for the app and the next stage.
We support you JACEK and we appreciate you and the effort you do daily 🎩

Find me some good examples of user accounts, not service accounts, that are providing AI generated casts and/or replies that are worth a damn.  I'll wait. 

Go check dune to see how much garbage is being filtered, it's insane.  Straight hot dumpster fire garbage on an August afternoon.

Why not join the habs GC to see what some of degens largest holders have to say?  You're a token holder and don't even participate.  Ignoring the original base for people farming a couple dollars worth each month.

When $DEGEN was ripping, new Farcaster users auto-followed a curated list, some folks got huge followings just from that. Let’s not pretend it's all merit-based. Early Reddit didn’t overmoderate either, if people liked a post, it thrived. AI or not, good content rises. No need to curate everything like it’s an art gallery. Let the feed breathe.

@jacek I think the " it'll feel spammy, but that's okay" is a terrible take. 

Also, I have to hard disagree that farcaster is a Have versus the have-not ecosystem. There are countless users who are not in the OG status that have built themselves incredible followings, channels, and holdings.

I guess if you want to call it a have versus have not, that's fair, but frame it appropriately. The people who are thriving HAVE put in effort and work to get there. The others simply HAVE NOT.

To be clear, low effort, AI generated, or spam type posts do not classify as putting in effort. 

I have a significant Degen in holding in cold storage, but I've got to say, your takes lately aren't the @jacek that launched degen.

I feel more and more frustrated with what is happening in Farcaster. I need something like Degen App: no elitist filters, no closed circles, just freedom to really create and connect 🎩💜

Sometimes the messy, unfiltered spaces are where the real stuff happens. Not everything needs to be polished for VCs.
