Warpcast

Semi-regular Warpcast annoyances thread

If you were BDFOWF, what would you have us work on? 

BDFOWF = benevolent dictator for one warpcast feature

as a user: mute without unfollowing and option to disable read receipts in DCs

as a dev: ability to copy a cast hash

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs

why mute without unfollowing? if you want to mute someone, why would you still want to follow them?

Hell, on this note, I’d love it if it if WC had a signifier that told the user I’d muted them, so they know I still want to follow them but their social games on WC are not amusing and I don’t approve or want to see it on my timeline

ability to maintain a DM convo is a good reason

I have great DMs with folks on FC who are playing _very_ different social games on WC than I do. 

Mute without unfollow keeps the conversation on WC which is a net-positive for the platform imo.

sometimes you want to maintain a relationship with a person without seeing everything they post. maintaining a DM is just one example of this, but these things matter on social media.

This is a feature I use heavily on every other social platform, it's shocking to me that it's contentious here

I would much rather mute terms/words than people.

Many people would take it personally if they are unfollowed. Bad karma.

This enables separating management of social connections from content feed, which is important for an individual user to scale usage.
