It's time to make Farcaster a cozy corner again.
I joined Farcaster around the summer of 2023. I had recently quit X, then Twitter, as I often felt like I wasn’t getting any engagement and I didn’t like the toxic, fast-paced environment. I owned a Mastodon account at the time, and that felt even more lonely as hardly anyone used it.

The virtue of being a tech agnostic
I’ve been a part of the web3 scene for a while now. As I’ve stated in previous blog posts, I started my journey back in 2021 during the thick of the coronavirus pandemic.

User Research for a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) communications platform
Currently, many DAOs rely on traditional platforms like Discord for communication. However, Discord's private corporate ownership contradicts DAO principles of decentralization.
