Throughout my time here, I have struggled when being seen within this dev(il's) playground, but every challenge has pushed me to grow and ultimately gain more recognition by using my own path and being true to my own voice.
My personal journey was not as bright as it might seem; there has been a lot of misinformation and changes to the protocol, some for the better and some that just made it harder to keep visibility through the neediness of this platform and the sure numbers game that needs to be played either on your part or if you have the powerful friends that are the seeded group the prayer and hope that they are willing to help raise your social score without having to generate content on the regular. You can go back to doing more quality vs having to placate the quality and quantity by looking for loops and gimmicks.
When I first joined this platform, I was filled with excitement. I saw it as a new opportunity to showcase my work and connect with a community of fellow artists. That's still my goal, and I'm eager to learn how to make the most of this platform.
https://jacquec.cent.co/nft/14246 limited mint on @cent. Also, hello Fam! New to @warpcast here! Looking for pointers and tips on how to make the most of this new platform 💜🫶💜 sending love to all y’all. https://jacquec.cent.co/nft/14246
Is there like a list somewhere for this social media experiment whatever it is that shows where one can put things in each channel cause I got a few like REVEL cards that I want to put out here but like I also avoiding that random MOD to “like it” pretty much making me feel like I put it in the wrong fucking place.
I went dark for a few months after this happened on the app and completely forgot about it until I had friends who finally used my code to join, and they brought me back into the platform. The damage went from mild to worse in a few months.
Bot or not, once told me I was a buildooor, and shortly after, without knowing it, my only guess is others in the channels started labeling my posts as spam.
Sharing too much art due to my excitement of diving back into the Warpcast scene, thinking I was sharing my creations and light with the world, and going from seeing the "top caster badge" on my profile to even being shadowed from my channel, I co-ran at the time /wac
People in my own group /wac don't see me. Fix this /shadowban NOW https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/5c14d019-5f98-4a88-40ce-a2a491615400/original
Would participate tho you cannot see me so my home is the void the endless vaccum of space. @debbie come join me https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/52009929-1fad-437e-c6f9-e3d06e5d9900/original https://warpcast.com/debbie/0xa8f665df
When the world feels dark, and you seem to be in an endless pit, remember to stay true to who you are. Continue to sound your voice and make yourself heard. When you are looking for recognition, keep in mind screaming into the void, falling into the shadows, and continuing to be you. You are special and unique.
Trying so hard to keep pushing through. Each day I see the beauty of growth and I stay stagnant unmoving.
Even when @artjedi1 feels the same way I do and cannot see me https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/03e3110a-0240-4e95-8103-92a766b1d400/original
If you know someone from outside this app always reach out compassion can be found in many different places, @letsglitchit was one of the first to take her powerbadge and started to showcase other artists around after hearing my story. I was lucky enough for her to hear me on our Cohort9 group one day after seeing the beautiful art she always posts. I interacted with and was again unseen.
This seriously touches my heart I reached out to @letsglitchit through one of our group chats on the other app, asking if she saw my posts. I appreciate all that you’re doing for art and artists here. You are so beautiful; keep being authentic love how you're working on helping everyone get seen 💜 https://warpcast.com/letsglitchit/0x132463f8
@awedjob.eth, who has been a witness to my story the whole time, has been one of the only reasons I have been able to make it to this point and not give up. I seriously was about to abandon this primary account. I tried and made a secondary one that somehow ended up having even more issues of not being able to even keep the tips of less than 500 $degen that I had gotten that season since my friends accidentally tipped @jacquec's wallet, which was and still is different than my main account. At that moment, it made me realize even if I tried to start over, Warpcast wouldn't let me. My only option now was to lean in harder to my current FID and hope to break through.
Have you been made invisible by the new “Priority Mode”? One thing you can do to help new users be seen is to recast their posts like I’m doing for the amazing and talented @jacque https://warpcast.com/jacque/0xac4dcae8
There are nefarious unfair practices on this platform they called “tests” it's affect unknown users and the devs are ignoring the plight they have made. How am I hidden from this whole platform https://warpcast.notion.site/Hide-97a31dcbc36e41a8b36f6e9b81e8c08a
Just was working on changing out the art in one of my pieces. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/00d28e32-052e-416b-a088-e2139b1fa100/original
Keep inspired going into this new week. Please DM me if y’all have any /wac art. Today's piece is by @squishna and thank you for yesterdays image @nomemorypixel this community is so talented thank you all for inspiring. Find any interesting news, contests, art please post it below. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/04ef9fb7-61c3-4ced-6fc5-cfbfa3f91e00/original
What I would post and pin in the channel to bring awareness to others artists within the community.
What the rest of the world saw when they went to the channel the same time and same day.
It became impossible, draining, and so disheartening that I honestly cried for a weeks time trying to help grow my community and not even being able to show my appreciation for others who were actively posting in our group channel trying to show support and validation to them when I was getting stifled by the algorithm without warning.
There were jokes in their ever-changing rulebook, so I know it exists and wish to high heaven that I could find it again where they were laughing and joking about NERFs (which are real and I have seen) and Shadowbans saying that it was test and only a test on their system.
Yet users got caught in the crosshairs. One could feel like they were locked into a void with no way out, and some still do; even with the ability to turn off Priority Mode, there are still a select few that choose not to do it at all since we are overrun with AI bot account, cyborg account (half and half human run and AI programmed) creators and what is deemed as spam posting.
@jacek IDK if you’d be able to help me get in contact with a dev. Somehow my account doesn't show up even in my group I corun /wac makes it extremely difficult to the point of impossible to engage. Any advice or an ear of a dev wrapped in a box would be helpful.
My CasterRank so on one place I only have 80 followers 1 79 I tried to make a new account to rectify that y'all took my tipped degen away from what is happening here? Why can no one help me fix these persistence issues? @dwr.eth now my @drakula won't sync as well. Do better please. I implore you. https://casterrank.app/frames/rank/weekly/195117
Even I was finally able to reach @debbie after asking a few times, and it made some of the biggest impacts, getting the start of my visibility outside my cozy corner here.
Congratulations to today’s winners! Picked folks whom I’m newer to discovering - thank you for sharing your art journey with me ❤️ 🥇 @andreabalestrero 🥈 @jacque 🥉 @ticklish-art.eth See you tomorrow for more amazing art! https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/4eb2fcf9-3683-45e3-275e-24c16b1ca600/original
I was ever so grateful for the friends I brought along with me. Honestly, without them, I would have given up. Now, I'm working to do everything in my power while I can maintain it to give back to them and others unseen here. @josepe-matteo took degen out of his own wallet and not only found other artists for the community since his account had more visibility and not the issue of my shadowbanned account, but we also found so much inspiration from those who participated.
Throughout this whole time, I was still finding those who were my peers and inspirations. We chatted outside the app, and every answer was the same. They couldn't even find me when I gave them my user name for a search or see me under their posts unless they clicked into them directly when I sent them the links.
Contest time 1st 1000 $Degen 2nd 500 $Degen 5 50 $Degen This contest will be judged by @jacque. I will be doing the payouts.

Yet, despite all the pain, I kept working to give back and get my new friends into the same light that was slowly being shown.
I have been blessed to co-run a group of creatives called /wac expanding my eye candy and just being genuinely inspired on the regular. One of my newfound fam @hanisart has really gotten me to all the feels and tbh their art is truly something else. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/5e301cdf-33e7-4d34-6ced-41ae4f9cee00/original https://warpcast.com/debbie/0xc6913125
Thanks dear @debbie for choosing mine as a first winner , a million thanks @jacque for participating me on this contest 🫂🫀 Gm 💎 I just started a new amazing day🌻 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/19ad11c0-e929-4dee-2b7d-638eba964500/original https://warpcast.com/debbie/0xc6913125
@hanisart is an amazing artist; I have fallen in love with her view and creativity. The second art contest win was an even larger honor since I got to pay it forward and support others on this platform.
AI art is art. Congratulations to today’s winners 🖤 🥇 @aoifeodwyer 🥈 @jacque 🥉 @erikx https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/e8d70163-aa66-4d25-95b0-29b3839bb300/original
Then, months later, that day finally arrived. I was in the middle of an interview with @sinfulmeatstick, and we were discussing my art journey for over 30 years and how I came to be on came to be behind the NFT. It may have been even longer if we hadn't gone onto the /wac channel in our discussion, and I got to talk about myself and others who inspire me every day. I had to bring my face in so close to the screen and saw a purple check mark by my name. I almost started crying out of pure joy, knowing that this was hopefully the sign of times changing and that if there was hope for me, everyone who radiates authenticity could also find this.
Join us at MetaOneDesigns HQ for another episode of Beyond The NFT!!! This week's special guest will be @jacque!!

Honoring our latest Power Badger. Thanks for all you do @jacque Live the dream! I couldn’t choose which one for you, so I’m sending both. @paybot 100000 $GRND https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/161e4a9a-fe15-42a5-e0a8-fb5da67f4500/original https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/16f040c5-4a4c-4113-9912-7db456473e00/original
Yet the battle still rages on every week. I see outstanding artists with pure and original content lose their badges. It's not a guarantee, and any week, I could fall back down. Warpcast can be very needy for attention, and even if you are genuine and putting your most authentic best foot forward, it doesn't mean that the algorithm agrees. There needs to be a more mutable solution that helps validate foxl to create fostering all walks of life in this world.
Everything is an art form, and everyone is an artist. Art is what we live and breathe from the nature around us, which gets things done in its own time, and no one asks it to rush to the code that is written, helping the world bridge boundaries and create the sites that we marveled at daily.
I think I somehow made art of @dwr.eth when I ghosted this place for being labeled as spam last year or was it when I was shadowbanned IDKYK but totally didn’t know what Dan looked like
I have been labelled as spam too... 🤝

Thanks I'll read it For sure the philosophy of the algo here had some bad moments, yet It seems it's getting better. Hopefully
It’s extremely segregated here and tiered system that is seeded on accounts of old vs branching the trust circle outside of what was first stated. It had become stale whereas even those I choose to follow I need to turn on notification which fails at times as well. I still have faith in this platform as I was once shadowbanned. It’s just a constant plea for change when some are complacent thinking everything is OKAY as long as the core seeded group remains unaffected and at the top.
Thank you for expanding on this. What do you think it was that caused you to get shadow banned?
It was a slow burn. Tbh one day I just disappeared. My own community couldn't even see me. I ghosted back in Dec or so of 2023 and didn't come back until season 3 of degen whenever that was. It was a decay and took lots of reaching outside of this place to other platforms and folxs to even be heard. https://paragraph.xyz/@jacque/shadowbanned-void-to-powerbadge
Thank you for sharing this article. It's quite a saga.
Today I introduce you to @jacque 1. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM? My dream is to find my place in this world creative daily as long as my body can continue to make an impact in this world. Spread and heal myself and others through transmuting darkness into light lifting the collective vibration and fighting for what is right. 2. SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU: My passion for creating visual storytelling has lived within me since I was young. I will always try any new tool or technology that is handed to me signing up first and asking questions after. Just learning what scares me most in the art world is something I should become acquainted with, learn about, and work with. Sometimes I fail and put it on the back burner for later and others I continue to deliberately practice to grow my understanding and craft. 3. HOW WERE YOUR BEGINNINGS IN FC? They were a dark and hard place from not knowing where to post things then walked away entirely ghosting for months (continue 👇)
and coming back to start my own community and getting shadowbanned hidden from everyone here. It still has the residual effects on this account and I even tried to make an alt with even more issues attached to it. My journey on Farcaster has not been easy like everything else I have had in this life working hard to even be seen. Fighting the algo and speaking out so others have it easier than I did here. So I work constantly on being transparent and open on all my posts here. I’m still here. There’s something so special that we’re a part of. It takes courage voice and community If you push past everything else and find those genuine people make connections and work towards expanding those cozy corners makes this place so unique and special. It’s just getting through or being lucky enough which I wasn’t when I got here to keep knowing that Warpcast is special can’t put my finger on it, but it keeps coming back. (continue 👇)
I know we can create the change and be heard because if I could push past it anybody can. 4. YOUR PLACE IN THE WORLD: Constantly creating, making connections, fostering growth. Creating for the self and if anybody else resonates with those pieces and able to have emotion in one person that’s enough if it’s more that’s great, but the goal is to continue to heal the self to show other people. They are not alone. Working towards bridging gaps forging paths creating empathy, advocacy for myself and others finding my own strength, letting it shine even if it may be wrong or right just getting up again each day to try again. 5. COOL PEOPLE YOU MET IN FC: My family that followed me or found me here @awedjob, @saraknaves, @jrobabstract, @aliced.eth, @trogs, @squishna, @seeimagery and many more esp when /wac was founded we started gathering here from all over the web and art worlds. (continue 👇)
There have been amazing connections both URL and even some leading to IRL meetups @abundance, @hanisart, @chicago, @potato, @dawufi, @plantsnft, @torii-stories, @pichi, @base, @justbuild I could name so many artists too.

🫶🫶 Love u @jacque
🔥😎
I wanna to say just 1 sentence about Jacque You see her everywhere Timeline ,feeds,casts,channels,anywhere you can see her pfp,good job buddy LFG 🚀 , you deserve it
Been a journey to get here & I hope to keep pushing forward. Thank you @jeyloo.eth
This! FC did everything it could to throttle new accounts and make it as hard as possible to get engagement. From the shadow bans, being marked as bots, power badges ect ect. I gave up myself at one point. Anyway I won’t trail on but it’s nice to see someone else who shared my experience here but also came back and has stuck it out 👍
It truly does & that one connection to get the ears & finally be heard by dwr ended up changing everything. A joke on the sound of music without referencing it really showed that when they hear us and know we’re genuinely working on helping them make this place better. All differences can fall away.
@jacque. Thank you so much for doing this with me and allowing other people to get to know a little more about you. Thank you for persevering in your hard journey on this network, because if you had given up, we would all have lost a lot here. Not only from knowing your fabulous talent, but many people benefit from your way of being, from your leadership to support other people. I built /live-the-same absolutely with this idea, to make it easier for other people to have a better time here. So that their beginnings are not so frustrating. I really appreciate you being here, and I'm sure many others will too!!!
Wow, what a powerful story, @jacque ...I love your passion for visual storytelling and look forward to experiencing it more. I'm sorry your FC journey was so difficult but glad you stuck around and we are all much better because you did. Glad to meet you, now following you, and hope your FC journey is never difficult again and helps others. 💜 💜 💜
Thanks for commenting, my friend. I loved that @jacque shared her difficult time in FC. Instead of leaving, she persevered and every day she makes the beginning of others in the network more friendly. I admire that a lot, and it is completely in tune with what others do!🫶🫶
Agreed. Many have struggled early in FC but I also love that you are working on /live-the-same to help people have a much more friendly and welcoming experience. That's why I'm here.
😎🚀
It still is a struggle yet I keep pushing on. Thankfully I’ve made great connections here and hopefully more that keep me coming back. This place as @pichi and I talk about has that magical quality and untapped potential that if we can keep it and foster its growth can truly be something special.
How could 'we' make it easier now? What is missing for you or what still makes it hard?

Earlier this month I was lucky enough to share part of my story thanks to @bigdegenenergy.eth and this channel. I was so touched by everyone’s questions and responses on my personal journey especially from my torrid beginnings here on Farcaster|Warpcast I wanted to share part of that since we are coming on almost a year of growth and changes here. As we know this space changes so fast and there is hope and abundance for all of us to thrive here. What have you faced or overcome?

I've gotta give this a read, @jacque, thanks for sharing!
Wrote it for @adrienne and @ted’s /writing hackathon one of my two pieces. The other was a collab. It almost feels like a lifetime ago in this space.
Tag split /writinghackathon
Incredible how time moves on Farcaster, looking forward to giving it a read
Can relate, was shadow banned 2 days after starting my channel. The dread of looking at it and seeing none of my casts on incognito mode. It was at the worst possible time and made it a tough grind to grow it. Thankfully from good friends on Tezos who were wonderful enough to post frequently it didn’t look totally like a ghost town. Tysm for giving your experience of the ups and downs here. I still feel after all this it’s the best social for me to grow on… until V decides to release some flawed code again ofc.
I remember days it hit me so hard. I gave up on the channel I was co-hosting as well even left our group chat for 2 days. It was some of those amazing artists that reached out and got me to come back. Sadly now I have tried to have them stay and many have left for the time being.
Me too, having zero recourse was some sick kafkaesque nonsense. I’m glad I pushed forward though. I blame Zora who was actually earning artists money there before Rodeo and them crushing the vibe by devaluing artists. Tezos and farcaster algo never seemed to value them in the first place so the let down wasn’t there.

Thanks. I know you are starting your journey here and lots of things have changed since last year. How can I also help support you‽
I'm honestly not even sure I'm so new... I'm still trying to work everything out.
After 2 days of trying I got one.
Thanks so glad to be on this venture with you 50 $degen
Yay congrats!!! 🩷🩷🩷 50 $DEGEN 1000 $WILD
Thank you, me too! I haven’t figured out if there’s a Discord or hangout for the members. Please let me know if you find one. My reach is limited as I’m still a peasant (ie non-badge-holder) on this platform, and even posting in the channel won’t be seen anyway. 🩷
https://paragraph.xyz/@jacque/shadowbanned-void-to-powerbadge Trust me I hear that
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m happy it eventually worked out for you.♥️🥹
Takes time and having the right people yet yes it’s really just hard to get noticed here. Every week I still wonder now. The funniest thing is I was doing an artist talk the day I saw it. So video proof to say. Now the next step is to cultivate community, become an artist full time and just make sure to help others being aware and remembering where I was and try to facilitate change one step at a time.
