The Farcaster community gets together every year in a community-produced event called Farcon. It took place the first few days of May this year in Brooklyn. Dan Romero, co-founder and CEO of Farcaster, asked me to do a fireside chat with him and while I'm trying to do less of this sort of things these days, that was an invitation I could not resist.

A map of the cloud predicted the pope.
Before the conclave, Bocconi ran a “Network Conclave” sim. Graph theory only — no AI, no divine signals. They surfaced Robert Prevost as a top node. Days later: Pope Leo XIV. Eigenvector = status Betweenness = info flow Coalitions = emergent power The Vatican didn’t run this. The network did. Leadership emerges from structure, not hierarchy. Forget hierarchy. Observe the graph. Link: https://www.unibocconi.it/en/news/network-conclave (now you see why @balajis.eth was right)

few weeks ago @katekornish wrote a 7 part series of writing about farcaster onboarding. incredible stuff. i saw it and thought: this could be a mini app so this is the mini app thoughts? feedback? she will share it “formally” on monday, so let’s consider that as the deadline https://farcasterchallenge.lat
For your walk and talks - put a title on top that lets people know roughly what it’s about. Keep and hold it for first 2-5 sec - Captions are non negotiable
first, every man made a blog then, every man made twitter threads next, every man made a podcast and now, every man will make a walk and talk video
Here's me reviewing some FC profiles and telling people how to improve their engagement https://www.loom.com/share/27a2185e60df4b939c91d935c5efd624?sid=8023925d-dda6-4d3d-8634-e7ffa7747263
What makes an account "inauthentic"? We're considering a new labelling system for inauthentic accounts. These accounts, often incorrectly called bots, will be hidden from like counts and other metrics in Warpcast. Inauthentic accounts give real people the ick because they're clearly trying to get value for their account at the expense of everyone else on the network.

new on warpcast: mini app notifications grouping and disabling new notifs still go to the top of the priority stack, but take only 1 slot per app vs taking over your whole page also if an app feels like too much for you, you can disable the notifications straight from the settings page shout out to @alvesjtiago.eth @farcasteradmin.eth @phil and other devs who pushed mini apps notifs to the limit
Final reminder! Hubs are going away soon. If you're running hubs please dm @dynemyte
