idea: stop blaming women who are having fun on farcaster for your inability to use the mute button to curate your own feed

criticizing a clearly shitty algo is fine tho

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

re: end, in other words if every single person on this app saw every single thing i cast my reaction wouldn’t be “omg there’s so much hate and bad energy” 

it’d be more like “whew i get it u guys *i’d* be sick of myself too”

i do think some of the casts were a bit too cruel

that said, citing specific people beyond just the algo does make the feedback more…concrete. “the algo is rough lately” is vague — means different things to different people. 

“the algo is shoving these specific people in front of my face every time i open the app” is more tangible and then others realize “wow yeah same here.” as they clearly have in this case

but them acting naive or surprised w the frustration is a bit disingenuous to me tbh. if your casts are jammed in front of seemingly every person on the network every single time they open the app day after day it’s VERY easy to understand why people will quickly become frustrated. that’s the case whether it’s some new girl, you, me, anyone

it went from talking about the algo to hate on specific people real fast. i'm grateful any of them are even interested in posting on this app and sticking around.

algo can be tweaked, tools to control what you want to see can also be improved. but trying to chase people away for just being themselves is not fun.

there is still a too small amount of people here who are posting daily to make the algo more tailored to what you wanna see imo.

best thing to do right now is to mute and move on. maybe give them a chance later when the team makes some changes.
