Farcaster

Farcaster obsession with policing speech like one word replies is obnoxious. Approaching StackExchange levels of pedantry.

Agree that would be nice but unlikley to move q... :)

My framework for engineering work:
1. Does it have a shot at significantly increasing qDAU growth?
2. If yes, consider it
3. If not, add to Notion doc called "Backlog for after PMF"

Makes sense. Perhaps this would be less badfeels if instead of telling people what not to cast, which creates culture of *others* telling people what not to cast, the Warpcast compose interface just computed if you're a low quality caster about to cast another low quality reply and gave a gentle nudge in Compose input.

Two options:

1. People change behavior

2. They get hidden by the algo and get frustrated.

We’re trying 1. 

People with plenty of quality casts are fine to use the network however they like. It’s the accounts that are virtually entirely all low effort content.

You made me remember Stack Overflow's founder talking about how their strict rules were *the* thing that made their platform successful, even if people complained :)

Two things, currently:

A DeSci tool for semantic publishing: sense-nets.xyz

A DAO tool for non crypto people: https://microdemocracies.com

This is one place where he mentions it:

I'm glad I looked for it. He mentions a "wizard" which seems useful. @dwr.eth you can let the users know their cast will get hidden before they cast it.

Seems like a powerful concept in general too: preview your cast effect...

do you have the timestamp of that bit? 80 min is too long lol

I hear your frustration.

That said “policing” is an unfair characterization. 

If it were accurate this post wouldn't be getting as much engagement as it is.

What incentives can we create to nudge for quality interactions?

In my understanding, and at the risk of adding to the pedantry: that’s not Farcaster, that’s Warpcast. Other FC apps may approach moderation differently and not penalize the visibility of repetitive one-word replies. But at the protocol level, they’re all equally visible.
