I’m a centrist and a conspiracist. I notice things and also remember events well. I remember Dan saying that. I also remember going who the fuck is balaji when Jesse shilled his zora token and he was the first one to 1 million. Of course he ended up being another ex-Coinbase guy. And the first post I remember he was saying how the platform can’t grow if it can’t control the type of content in it. So his first post here or experience was with bad content so it makes sense what he’s doing rn. Is it the best plan? I honestly don’t know, but building another client is extremely fun and artistic and not nearly as difficult as it would have been 1 year ago. Farcaster only truly benefits if more people use the core feature of the social graph which is… the ability to make a client. But in terms of leadership, having all forms of company culture and opinions come directly from the fallen Coinbase tree branches, and it’s thrown around like hot potato between a few guys from one company, people feel less incentivized and disheartened actually by what could have been more simply, kinder UI decisions. 🧗‍♀️ The solution isn’t simple though and I don’t have an answer, only more problems: empathetic comms and positive treatment of strange individuals on the internet could invite more instances of fake positivity, toxic corporate ladder climbing, and the ourobros loop of snake eating its tail end. Balaji has a direction he wants to steer FC in which is: Network School, education, onboarding and what I believe a more formal direction that doesn’t treat decentralization as anything goes. These are my opinions, would love to hear what you think. 🤔
