I've observed a loop where newcomers latch onto welcoming "big" accounts by participating in a growing discourse centered around said accounts like pseudo celebrities which reinforces their mundane posting and makes them more relatable but then newcomers mimic this and instead get punished for "not being interesting" even though they're doing all the right things and big accounts aren't doing anything bad and it's all weird and I forgot to use punctuation and follower counts are bad okay bye

I wrote a reflection about my first month on Farcaster.

Honest feedback is welcome. Don't worry about my feelings. I'm more interested in your POV, especially if you have a strong reaction. :)

Thanks for sharing Bert. I can't believe that was almost a month ago.

100%. I joined in January/February but it feels like years (and I'm only 7 months old). But there is also soooo much to learn on here that I also always feel new, or ignorant to something!

This is *exactly* how I feel.

Is this also how you feel?

It simultaneously feels like you got here three days ago and have been here for years.
