algo feeds are basically mind control technology

might unironically warrant some degree of regulation in its current state

and is a vulnerability that should be addressed in the next iteration of online social

popular opinion: users like the algo feed

Serious question. Are both the following and the home feed algo based. Or is following just recency based of all the ppl you follow? Either way I tend to always find engaging and great content by going back and forth. But I get the sentiment from @stephancill

Im being sarcastic 99% of the time.

idk i don’t work at farcaster. maybe @gt could chime in

@basement5k.eth 

Following feed is a non-algorithmic feed. It is based on casts (and recasts) from people you follow sorted reverse chrono .

Home feed is algo.

Overwhelming majority of Farcasters prefer home feed compared to pure following.

thats what i kinda thought.  I like having both - toggling to home feed when I cant refresh the following feed quick enough is dope

incentivizing things @ poidh.xyz - come chill /poidh + follow @poidhbot

oh yeah that's another thing I pointed out to @ted, real rug pull for small users on here when they get a "recast" from a big account on here but then they realize

a) the followers of that big account won't see that recast in the following feed

b) that recast won't show up in the home feed of the big account

I don't know why y'all want to make your following feed different from every other following feed that's been used? X/Threads define the behavior users expect from a following feed, and it's confusing when people show up here and don't get the same experience

what makes the feedback of these few people that don't like recasts in a following feed better than the feedback of people who do want it?

We made some changes to make sure all top level casts are in there and instant.

We are looking into including more but although you believe "everything" should be the "following" feed we even received feedback that recasts should not be included. So we are trying to find a balance here before making more changes.

well yeah the following feed doesn't actually show you any posts from the people you follow beyond their top level casts

so it's boring

the main strength of any following feed is that you see EVERYTHING from the people you follow, including their replies to other people's posts

but I do remember you saying a few weeks back changes were coming, any update?
