According to BlockBeats, on September 17, Farcaster founder Dan Romero emphasized the significance of authenticity during his opening speech at FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia. Romero stated that authenticity is crucial on Farcaster, even more so than on most social networks. He noted that people genuinely care about those they perceive as real, and some negative habits from other social media platforms are not welcomed on Farcaster.
Romero highlighted that Farcaster places a greater emphasis on individuals, resonating with the needs of early community users. He believes that being oneself is more important than following social media tips for building a brand account. He compared it to attending a party where one introduces themselves first before discussing their activities, rather than the other way around, which makes the person seem less important.
Regarding content management, Romero mentioned that people are less sensitive about content management compared to personnel management. Farcaster's new approach to community management focuses on managing people rather than content. He described this model as giving a warm, club-like feeling, where users can create a shared identity and build a genuine community. This approach marks a significant shift from previous competitors. Farcaster plans to release a set of tools to help channel administrators gain more control over their spaces.
FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia, was co-hosted by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats, and Jam. The conference aims to explore and showcase the innovative achievements of the Farcaster ecosystem and the future prospects of Web3 social networking, breaking the stereotype of one-way output in traditional financial crypto conferences. The event is expected to attract over 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users in Asia, venture capitalists, renowned investors, and senior researchers.
