We are all a bit like Nolanās tarnished Odysseus arenāt we?
Weary from 10+ years of battles.
Guilty for how we may have won those battles.
Hypocritical for spouting ideals we donāt follow.
Impatient with friends who continue to act on those ideals.
Failing to save our own Eurylocus.
Embraced by our loved ones even knowing we should be reviled.
Iām not always a fan of Nolanās work but he killed it with this one!
Glad I waited to watch it in 70mm. Iāll probably watch it in other formats while itās in theatres.

Something worth noting for the $SNAP allocation algorithm: it was built for the future, not the past.
Hypersnap doesnāt have the benefit of a pool of VC money to run nodes and encourage users/builders. All of this is done by the community and incentivized by a community token. But a token with a bad mechanism canāt work in the long run.
So the team churned through dozens of different allocation algorithms and got feedback internally and externally. This is how major botnets were found and their network impacts significantly reduced algorithmically, not manually.
Why is this important? Anyone running a similar botnet in the future wonāt be rewarded. This is baked into the allocation algorithm.
The team used past data to come up with a solid algorithm for the future. This algorithm was created in public via the FIP process and can be changed the same way.
So if youāre wondering why x got y, itās because they had some sort of network impact in the past. And their efforts will helped Hypersnap shape the algorithm to avoid farmers in the future.

Without the fork, thereās no guarantee/hope that FC keeps running if/when Neynar shuts down or decides to pivot.
The FC network is currently a permissioned set of nodes. Hypersnap is a permissionless set of nodes. Anyone can run a hypersnap node. Soon there will be token incentives to run a node.
If nothing else, itās a useful escape hatch if anything happens to Neynar. Philosophically, I donāt believe a VC-backed company can create a truly decentralized social platform.

You canāt be too hard on the red button people. They are just afraid. Theyāve seen the worst of humanity and donāt want to risk their lives trusting human nature.
I get it. I almost pressed red myself. They arenāt wrong.
But blue pressers are willing to put their lives on the line for their beliefs. And thatās special.
I pressed blue not because I believe, but because I want to believe!

Lessons from 2 cycles ago for anyone feeling stress around fork dicussions:
1) You donāt owe anyone attention or energy. You choose who gets it. Choose wisely.
1b) Block and mute liberally for sanity.
2) Action >>> Talk. Talk will get you nowhere. If you want something to happen, do something. Write an FIP. Write some sample code. Anything. The world moves at the whims of those who act.
3) Itās not that important. Itās definitely not more important than your health. Go for a walk, read a book, sleep. This crap will be here when you get back.
