Webb +Category: Social 2024.11.08 + + Farcaster will never scale + +Abstract + + Money over everything + +Body + + I posted this to Farcaster yesterday[1]: + + I've unfollowed a handful of people, muted a few, and left a bunch of + channels (I should've did the channel thing a while ago). + + The great thing about crypto is that you're surrounded by a + community of dreamers, builders, and creators building a brighter + future because we've all identified what's not working in society. + + So, to suddenly understand that a large swath of your peers gleefully + celebrate an inept moron because he'll make the crypto casinos print + money to the moon at the expense of us all is…baffling. + + Like…the same people who understand how to write smart contracts and + use custodial wallets are the same ones who accept that the same + people they mint from, laugh with, and build with will literally lose + their rights, lives, and/or families due to the incoming + administration…and they're fine with that. + + Where's the humanity? + + "Hahaha, money go brrr" over everything? Seriously? SERIOUSLY. + + I've been black my whole life so I'm used to people smiling in my + face and cursing my existence in the same breath. *yawn* + + I let my guard down and assumed because I was in a smart space with + bright people working towards a brighter future for us all that we'd + ALL be on the same page. Idk wtf y'all think anymore and nor do I + care at this point. + + Farcaster is a neat experiment that had potential to work. Now I see + it will never work. You cannot be a network for everybody when you + don't give a shit about every body. Glazing and posturing for Daddy + Elon when he don't even respect his own kids is sick work. + + My good friend Brad Barrish shared an excellent blog post from Ken + White[2] in response. As one commenter put it, it's the best + post‑mortem of the election that I've seen yet. Honestly, it's a + must‑read.
