what if when someone you follow comments on someone else's post, we "bump" that comment from the person you follow into the following feed w/ context

so when someone you follow responds to someone you DON'T follow, you see a new quality account (generating conversations = quality)

this was what the Farcaster feed was pre-February 2024 btw

they have the technology, they just refuse to use it

I joined Jan 28 2024 so I don’t really remember. Frames dropped and my whole feed became a frenzy.

so much of the "anti spam" work they did killed the good conversations that were happening

couldn't simply push people to be smart about who they followed, had to kill the following feed and force people to an algo and try to curate it with 0 spam (nearly impossible task)

The baby with the bath water thing really resonates. Seems like a theme.

yeah they nuked the good feed they had because people complained about it being too "noisy" when a lot of new users showed up

imo they threw the baby out with the bathwater and set growth on the app back because that simple reply bumping concept is incredibly important for allowing conversations to gain visibility organically 

and to date they refuse to bring it back (even though we have a following feed that's perfect for it) because "it confuses new users"
