COINOTAG news, on September 17, Farcaster founder Dan Romero emphasized the importance of authenticity during the opening speech of FarCon Asia, the inaugural large-scale Farcaster offline event in Asia. Romero highlighted that authenticity is paramount on Farcaster, potentially more so than on conventional social networks. Users are genuinely invested in engaging with real individuals, rejecting the unfavorable habits prevalent on other platforms. Farcaster’s focus on personal expression seems to align with the early community’s needs, emphasizing the value of being oneself over adhering to generic social media strategies.
According to Romero, content management is less of a concern compared to personnel management. Farcaster adopts a community management model centered on people rather than content. This approach fosters a sense of belonging, making the platform feel more like a club where users share a common identity and forge genuine relationships. This people-centric model is poised to set Farcaster apart from previous competitors. Moreover, new tools will soon be available to provide channel administrators enhanced control of their spaces.
FarCon Asia, jointly organized by Tako Protocol, COINOTAG, and Jam, will delve into the innovative advancements within the Farcaster ecosystem and the future of Web3 social networking. The event deviates from the typical one-way output style of traditional financial encryption conferences. The conference is projected to attract over 500 participants, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users, VCs, renowned investors, and senior researchers from Asia.
