The vibes are worsening here lately. I don’t mean the spammy newcomers. I’m talking about some of y’all. 🫵 Numbers we each value differently are rapidly going up. Social metrics, portfolio values, DAUs, etc. It’s exciting but some of us are turning into the Twitter influencers we once vocally rejected.

It's become kind of frenetic This morning I opened the app and felt a little overwhelmed. First time feeling that way with FC

ooh i think this is unavoidable as things scale. best thing to mitigate it is to allow users more power over the content they see.
hottakes
yeah i agree, used to feel like a groupchat https://warpcast.com/fun/0x10d45730

had the same feeling over the past few days the signal to noise ratio from people i follow has definitely decreased love Farcaster & the people I've met here - hopeful this will balance itself out with some time

Knew I shouldn’t have posted that pull-up video. Felt off. Sorry Steve. Will do better 🤍

i think this is what we were expecting and bracing for back when sign up went permissionless in october thankfully it was a little delayed so channels could get to a better place to mitigate some of the effects and have a little oasis here and there to retain some q in qdau

Damn bruh I just said I don’t like monopoly deal, you don’t have to take it so personally

Can I ask a favor? If you find me slipping into that, I'd ask you to highlight it and hold me accountable. 🙏

sorry @sdv.eth here is a picture of goose to brighten your day!

this isn’t a hot take, just factual. the biggest thing I’m seeing on this front is FOMO-driven behaviors. I will continue to maintain that we should all simply seek to find cool shit, build cool shit, and engage authentically. frankly, it is all qualitative, seeking to quantify FC as a user is a losing game.
hottakes
could you say more about the things you appreciated about the vibes you are remembering?
hottakesCan you point to some examples? Maybe even from me if there are any? I see a lot of bad experiences tied to the like and recast crowd but from most of the people who have been here it seems like genuine experimentation.
hottakes
unavoidable! best thing the scenius can do is not reward the behaviour

I’m pretty new (1month) was excited to complete my first bounty. Completed all reqs: Paid for a sub, posted on Twitter. (Lots)Ended up not getting the bounty as “your acct looks fake or tweet didn’t get any views” kind of a bummer. Left a bad taste. I feel this might be kinda what you mean, yeah? Was a big acct

It’s going to be inevitable, especially when financial gain is involved.
hottakes
well said. I agree, I’ve tried to roll with the talk the last few days but it is feeling more twitter than before
