I’m always trying to learn more about this weird little world we call Farcaster. And if I’ve figured out anything, it’s this: the best way to understand something here is to just try it and see what happens.

Right now I’m working on two secret projects. Both have forced me to learn a bunch of new skills, which has been fun but also a little brain-melty. (Release dates TBD, if ever.)

I’ve also been diving deeper into crypto itself, because even though I use it constantly on here, I still don’t really know what I’m doing.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with memecoins (aka gambling). Yesterday I put $20 into both $hotdog and $america. Today I’m up $200 on $hotdog and down $7 on $america.

Lesson in there.

Honestly navigating here has been so hard. I was never boosted and finding community hasn't been easy most people have told me I can't do things or post in their channels.

somewhere between a protest sign and a compact mirror.

As things go, I do appreciate the offer.
But I have no desire to stay where I’m not wanted — and lately, that message is coming through louder than anything else.

I joined about a month ago and gave it my full energy. In those first two weeks, I showed up, contributed, engaged — all while being fully verified. And yet, I was hidden. Silenced. No visibility. No explanation.

Then came the announcement: boosts and bonuses for those who joined within the past month.
I was part of that window. And still — dead air.
No reach. No recognition. Nothing but a ghost signal in a protocol I actively supported.

It’s disheartening.
I feel like a fool for backing this, for investing my time and paying for Pro.
Because what I’m getting in return is silence.

Which channels are you trying to cast in? Maybe I can help make an introduction. Or what types of content do you want to get connected with?
