Another well-funded client with an entirely different algo launches tomorrow.

how different can the algos be, when merkle is like 80% ex-coinbase people, it's clearly not that you guys think so differently

I expect yet more videos, nothing else. 

TBA

planting causal loops; harvesting reflexivity

That would be great, too. But getting and retaining users is really, really hard.

maybe what we need is less well-funded clients, from less prominent, well funded teams, that are instead well, good listeners, to their users.

Algo is completely different since it’s built with getembed.ai and not by Merkle. Though content size is small so you can only optimize based on that

Nah there’s a specific video feed but main one is any media meaning text; images; videos: mini apps; etc

ohh interesting tidbit I didnt knew, thank you

I barely used the app but I saw mostly videos too, am I incorrect?

very good point laid out there. and on the coinbase client part, I personally don't think it might stick if the current beta is the one to be rolled out to all user 🤷‍♂️

well it's more than that, they're all US companies, and very tightly knit, so I'd say there's not much diversity of thought or culture beyond the ones the teams arlready might have individually with great IC's. But I don't see how coinbase client adds diversity to the table long term

I'd rather have control than leave it to the VC's tho....

Unless you go fully e2e encrypted which for a public network defeats the purpose of public then your data will be open to view by anyone.

Notably same jurisdiction too

It is good that shadowdans have technically been mitigated - this is an improvement on trad social

But let’s not pretend like we’re radically innovating here

It only cost all your data being freely available for anyone and everyone. Expect many many more models to be trained on your data. It’s not a bug it’s a feature :)

I expect base app to prioritize coined casts.

This is FUD. The algos are independent. Different choices.
