Fixed a lot of small issues causing some swaps to fail. 

Swap success rate should be significantly improved, and will continue to get better. 

h/t to @slokh for improvements.

Things we are going to improve soon: 

- Fluctuating follow counts 
- False positive spam labels 
- Notifications getting too noisy

Anything else annoying you?

A petition to @dwr.eth @v @woj.eth and the rest of the Farcaster team to enable us to remove followers from our accounts 🙏🏼

Why is this important?

The Farcaster Rewards algorithm prioritizes accounts with less followers who are more active. As a result, accounts with larger but inactive followings don’t receive good scores and suffer the consequences

X allows people to remove followers from accounts and I don’t see a reason why Farcaster cannot do the same

Inactive followers do not hurt your chances of winning rewards. We only look at active followers

How far away are we from a simple ZK passport implementation?

Would let Farcaster users verify an email or passport without disclosing sensitive information. 

Key word is simple (i.e, can build a working FC prototype in a day).

I spend way too much time thinking about the skin color in the emoji that I use

I understand why they added skin tones but I kinda wish we could’ve just all aligned around the yellow ones and called it a day

i built something at microsoft that used red and green smiley faces. 

it was only an internal tool, but hr told me that it wouldn't be ok to ship because it might be racially insensitive. 

they said, without flinching, that i should go back to the yellow smiley faces.

Really enjoyed this Dwarkesh episode with Victor about Xi.

home feed quality feels better. recent algo changes to surface more of my friends at the top?

we use clicks on casts as a signal to show you more from the author. 

this had a surprisingly big impact, because when you see a conversation in the feed you're very likely to click on it and, counter-intuitively, less likely to hit like because you already took an action on it.
