Farcaster

Just thinking out loud about the new pro subscription on Farcaster…
I was genuinely happy to subscribe because I want to support the platform and the community, definitely not for any kind of special status. It's just that, for me, seeing the badges on every single post in the feed has started to make things feel a bit divided, and I've even noticed a few posts creating a kind of 'pro vs. not-pro' vibe, which isn't really what Farcaster's about. My friendly thought was maybe the badge could be awesome on our profiles, but perhaps removed from the main feed itself to help keep that great, inclusive community feel for everyone.

The best crypto signal ever!
I buy = the top 📉
I sell = the bottom 📈
Enjoy the gains 💸

I honestly don't see this overkill, why should people take sides over something so trivial?

I don't currently have a badge but I don't see what should change with those who do.... now we are no longer friends?

Co-founder of Ragnarok Games, but in my free time I get lost in mini-games on /remix, pixel art, and scattered snapshots.

Yes, I understand what you mean. Mine was a very general thought that people should not allow themselves to be subjugated by these things.

You're right, it absolutely shouldn't change friendships, that's not really my worry. My thought was more about the subtle visual feel of the feed itself. Sometimes constant little visual cues can unintentionally create a sense of different groups, even if everyone's intentions are good. Just hoping to keep the main space feeling super inclusive for everyone by default!
