Farcaster Devs

Social networks serving the dual purpose of (i) broadcasting genuinely valuable alpha / analysis / insight / intel / predictions (better and faster than any traditional media can), and (ii) allowing the unfiltered belching of mid opinions (of which everybody has one, like a certain anatomical feature) is the medium's fundamental conundrum. Both are given equal representation by default

That's why, for actual discussions that extend beneath surface takes, I favor Reddit where at least the community does the legwork of assigning positive or negative karma, which generally bubbles up the best takes (if you sort your feed accordingly)

And karma compounds over time at the account level

A network filtering people as either alpha value or belching waste has commodified social participation into extractable communities of data-mining slavery.

Instead, a reciprocal algorithm could track IRL impact & accountability per post/user over time:

Mutuality Score = + (Givers/Helped) − (Takers/Reported)
