sad to see people I respect being impacted by situations that were largely avoidable. mistakes happen — what matters is how they’re handled. evidently, there are multiple areas where merkle could benefit from serious reflection if they value the community they’ve built so far. to name a few: - vision: what is farcaster aiming to be? is decentralized social still part of the plan alongside trading, and on what timelines? - transparency: around strategy, direction, reasoning behind decisions, code, etc. — to regain trust - community management: too many situations were handled poorly. my case aside (which I’m still puzzled about), ignoring the users who care most about your product is never a good idea. the good news is that we speak up because we care, and as long as we're here things can be fixed. but the level of discontent is higher than I expected, and I think addressing that should definitely be a priority. sending love to @deodad and the team 🫶
