if you're an artist on farcaster, pivot back to twitter.

farcaster is cool, but as much as I'd like to tell people about it, i find myself going for other apps instead. recently, it's happened more and more.

speaking for myself, as someone who relies mostly on visuals (photography specially), and also believes art plays a fundamental role in the space, the image compression on FC (app) has become, once again, a big blocker for me (like in 2023). it's brutal compared to other apps and i cant justify the time spent creating farcaster-only files to then see an already optimised image getting crushed on the feed. 2y have passed and not much has been improved - or it got downgraded more recently, i dont even know anymore. gifs are choppy as well. as a non-pro sub, the 2 images limit (farcaster only) is also a kind of an bummer. anyway, if what's shared doesn't look good, difficult to look away. at least for me.

no conclusion, just a brain dump. and apologies for not being so positive. 

sad reality.

and no, it's not only about image compression (at least for me).
