remember when that ICE agent showed a kid with leukemia his gun and the kid pissed himself and they made him sit in his piss while they arrested his mom?

I remember.

Likewise. Struggling with the “why” of it all though. Like, what does Farcaster actually /stand for/ besides the enrichment of men like @pmarca?

here's to hope, because I don't have a better solution 🍻

It does. Social networks are movements, not products. It’s how we cohere and grow together. To date, Farcaster has been driven by greed; that won’t sustain or if it does, the resultant culture will be shallow and cruel.

Does it have to stand for anything? Or is just being less toxic than X good enough? (Though if it survives long enough there's a definite rush that the toxicity will just move here)

Great use of your time. Helping others is more patriotic than exploding magnesium in the sky, barbecue.

I am too. My primary purpose here, and the only one I expect to remain, is to help artists make a better living. I have an app mostly built, all I need is more time. I guess that's something valuable I could do with my July 4th weekend since I have it off of work.

I dont think the foundation is broken— do you?

It can’t be forcibly replicated. Success in this context isn’t chemistry. It’s chaos and the best we can do is create the right conditions for another storm. Direct intention won’t produce the right steps. It needs to be a fortuitous accident.

Besides, another successful shitcoin won’t fix the culture here. Money can flood but it won’t fix the foundation.

Well, i think it stands for the enrichment of its users. User owned social media. Sure merkle owns the protocol but look at degen and you vs them. We need to figure out how to replicate that (not the process, but the outcome).
