hot take: I actually liked the vibe of Farcon Rome so much specifically because it wasn’t hypey, shilly and salesey. felt so easy to skip all of that and just spend time connecting with people. livestreams could have been cool and I believe most of the talks were recorded, but I think everyone was too busy vibing IRL...
Honestly, it’s inconceivable to me that there’s a convention specifically about Farcaster, with Farcaster’s new owners there, and after several days — with the event basically ending — there still hasn’t been a single video, blog post, announcement, recap, nothing.
