Got a new snack in the office.

20g protein bar. Not too many sugars. Not bad for a snack when running short of smoothie making time, eh?
It’s time @dwr.eth @v and team enjoy fruits of their labor a bit with channels. Probably lots to improve - but quality is going up.
Why clicking on a picture in Warpcast takes a bit to load?

On X it loads immediately - which is a very satisfying experience actually.
If you have to pick only one fruit, what will it be?
LilyPad (my one and only frenpet) is dead! Say a prayer.

LilyPad struggled to stay alive the last few weeks, repeatedly not getting fed within the 3 days and barely coming back alive before the week.

But these lapses caught up, and he passed away a couple of days back.

RIP!
Claimables is a great name! (in addition to being a great feature)

Rainbow/ @mikedemarais.eth continue to impress with their thoughtful approach to building a wallet.
Ok I oblige.

Let’s see if Moxie can pay my family’s late night ice cream cravings.
Just joined artrun.io (@artrun-io) (a new @zora artcoin launchpad on @base), got 5 invites to share!
Are channels on the path to being unbundled into a sufficiently decentralized version of discord?

I think so.
One of the use cases I was excited for crypto: one account across all services.

But in reality, I have to connect/sign with my wallet everytime which is far worse UX than log into each service once and ask my browser to remember me. The latter just works.

Smart wallets/Passkeys help with this perhaps in the long run. But super annoying right now.
Two thoughts, not related.

1.

Annoying announcements are a feature. Unfollow if you don’t like. Or wait for a bit to see as people are learning the ropes. If things don’t change, unfollow.

Unfollowing channels is net good. It should help improve your home feed by capturing your revealed preferences more accurately.

I have been meaning to do this for some time, I am now using announcements to do this.

2.

There has to be a request to join feature soon enough. Without that, even if we think channels need to be intentionally built - they miss discovery/serendipity.

World is lot more complex to not give a chance for some random high quality poster to be discovered by a channel owner because they forgot to ask or the owner missed seeing a request.
Think we will look back at this time on FC and realize the channel changes are the right thing to do.

Short term pain, but long term I am increasingly convinced that this is for the better.

If channels are to be the cozy corners, they need to be built much more intentionally.
why name a meme as onbase? what significance is there for a meme to be on a specific chain other than promoting unnecessary chain tribalism?
Just ask has huge friction.

May be that’s a feature not a bug, but very very hard to scale just ask.
i am not a particularly social person. i am too much into my own self. easily get bored with people. don't think i have it in my to build a community.

but in light of the upcoming channel changes something occurred to me while listening to the late night crew yesterday.

software will come and go, people/relationships/communities remain. don't build a channel, build a community.
Realizing everything that you read and hear is one sided makes a big difference in your life.

Suddenly you will feel less anger, more calmer and accepting of all circumstances and people around you.
I will take credit for this feedback!
hmm

this is like a cover letter that would not get you an admit in a 3rd tier MBA school.

would love for an alternate education community emerge on farcaster from the already underrated /parenting community.

No way we are all paying that much amount of money for college for our kids, right?
