Feel free to tag me in discussions about community-sourced lore projects, especially for clanker and Moxie. I'm a senior-level freelance editor and I'd love to help vet the lore submissions. I'm collecting clanker lore myself. I've worked with Farcasters on lore-related blog posts in the past (e.g., the Farcaster Scenius Lexicon). I'll have a "portfolio" ready in December. There's been some interest in starting a wiki for FC lore more broadly too. https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x3a4993f7 https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0xb3e7c09e
possibly my last post before moving from substack to @paragraph an ode to /farcaster, with liberal quoting of @adrienne 's classic scenius article https://christin.substack.com/p/ive-been-co-hosting-an-award-winning

"Sometimes you have a slowcore day, but Slowcore is forever." Well said, and also noteworthy because this use of Slowcore with a capital "S" is a Farcaster first. Might even be a good candidate for the Farcaster Scenius Lexicon if the slow-culture trend continues to gain traction. What do you think, @adrienne?
A new offering from /slowcore-hq with a screenshot essay by @danicaswanson that breaks down the meaning of the emerging slowcore scenius. Generative art by me. Enjoy.
Thanks so much for your kindness. "Ed1t Van Degen" is a great meme! For the record, I didn't do any hiring. When I got the idea to send the invite, I put out a call to other fans of @edit's work. A group of us pooled our warps to cover the signup fees. Everything after that was the work of @edit (and the FC scenius).
This place is definitely full of creative inspiration. Funny that we chatted on Twitter and Substack before this, but it's the FC scenius (and Zorbs!) that actually catalyzed our collab. Excited to launch. It's fitting that launch day for a project colloquially called "slowcore HQ" would be delayed, isn't it? Ha!
well this is lovely!! I appreciate all y’all so much! But special 💜 for my partner in crime @adrienne the queen of the scenius who keeps me (and many of us) grounded! I LOVE seeing all the new /onchainmedia 🙌 @christin @ted & soon @heavygweit (AND soon /gmfcnetwork 🤫) w/the FarcastHERs leading the way!
Probably the coolest FC connection for me is the "GenX women/over-40" crew that formed in the aftermath of FarCon. It centered around the "GenX Courage" post by @nounishprof and the thread that followed. Now @adrienne and I work together on the FC Scenius Lexicon project. https://warpcast.com/nounishprof/0xaffbd346
Great read, really jived with how you linked protocol rewards with the "scenius" concept.

ofc the Scenius Genius @adrienne! qDAU ✅✅✅ https://easscan.org/offchain/attestation/view/0xfe21e9615ee3fdb831e326451140ccb40b75431659f62846330e2fb056994bb4
icebreaker
also @adrienne for introducing me to the term scenius
just wanted to show some gratitude to @dwr.eth and @v for what they've created!! (and ofc @nicole for inviting me) this has been a really special scenius to be part of, with so many memories and a feeling of community that's exceeding what i've felt anywhere else we're all part of something really remarkable ❤️
unavoidable! best thing the scenius can do is not reward the behaviour

The first @paragraph post from our sensemaking scenius! We set the stage for our ongoing experiments in collective sensemaking, digital co-gardening, social annotation, peer-to-peer publishing, and active inference. https://paragraph.xyz/@scenius-gardens/digest1
writing
- it concentrates tip volume and ensures that the recipient receives a substantial reward for their contributions to the scenius - this substantial reward means that Degen makes a REAL impact on the community that last point is special because it creates a flywheel effect that any Degen holder should be proud of
Here’s my post describing farcaster as a scenius https://adrienneshulman.medium.com/the-power-of-scenius-farcaster-and-the-collective-genius-of-communities-244f018a8767
I wrote this https://www.wysr.xyz/p/fast-rope-into-farcaster And @adrienne had a great piece about Scenius And here are all the essay contest essays https://saymore.tv/contest
prefixing this with no shade on nicholas here, i think many are going to have this perception but i think now that FC has tailwinds this is going to be the primary challenge for both the FC scenius and Merkle to deal with https://twitter.com/nnnnicholas/status/1752352892323762583
Today is my 1-year anniversary on FC. I joined on Jan 26, 2023. Three days later, I joined @paragraph. In both cases I knew I'd found where I wanted to stay for the long haul. Love the FC scenius and the Paragraph community! https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x186189 https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0xfa39c881
Haha I don’t remember us saying that but it sounds like something we would say. (And thx for listening!) This is how I talk about farcaster: A place for builders, founders, creators, people dreaming of a better world and making it happen. Positive sum. Scenius.
