On September 17, during his opening speech at FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia, Farcaster founder Dan Romero said:

“I think authenticity is really important on Farcaster, or at least more important than it is on most social networks. People really care about people they feel are real, and some of the bad habits from other social media platforms are not welcome on Farcaster.

Farcaster is more focused on the individual, and I think that resonates with early community users. Being yourself is actually more important than following those blog posts like ‘10 Social Media Tips for Building a Brand Account’. It’s like going to a party, introducing yourself first, and then talking about what you’re doing, rather than talking about what you’re doing first and making yourself seem less important.

In terms of content management, I think people are actually less sensitive about content management than they are about people management. Our new idea for community management is that we manage people, not content. I think this model gives people a warm feeling, more like a club. It’s more like a group that users are part of, where users can create a shared identity and build a real community. This will be the biggest change Farcaster makes compared to previous competitors. We will release a set of tools designed to help people like channel managers have more control over their space.”

FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia, was jointly organized by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats and Jam. The conference aims to deeply explore and showcase the innovative achievements of the Farcaster ecosystem and the future prospects of Web3 social, breaking the stereotype of one-way output in traditional financial crypto conferences. FarCon Asia is expected to attract more than 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users of the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia, VCs and well-known investors, and senior researchers.
