Farcaster obsession with policing speech like one word replies is obnoxious. Approaching StackExchange levels of pedantry.
Itâs WC not FC thatâs policing. Whoâs pedantic now đ
In my understanding, and at the risk of adding to the pedantry: thatâs not Farcaster, thatâs Warpcast. Other FC apps may approach moderation differently and not penalize the visibility of repetitive one-word replies. But at the protocol level, theyâre all equally visible.
Two options: 1. People change behavior 2. They get hidden by the algo and get frustrated. Weâre trying 1. People with plenty of quality casts are fine to use the network however they like. Itâs the accounts that are virtually entirely all low effort content.
May it be proclaimed that the voracious and ravenous Chronos, in his boundless and insatiable gluttony, devours his own progeny, the relentless march of seconds, with an appetite that is as insatiable as it is all-consuming, heedless of the pleas of the temporal offspring that cascade into the abyss of eternity.
the Big Unlock... the big leap from 0-to-1 to 1-to-N... the Great Filter of social networks at scale... is removing the training wheels of small-group-of-humans moderation. IMO, X has done it, just many people don't like the result. I think (with less knowledge?) ć°çșąäčŠ has done it better
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 :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZkYSSE8HHI
doesn't feel like an obsession or policing to me at all, that seems a bit over the top
What incentives can we create to nudge for quality interactions?
I don't mind the policing myself but it does seem like a strange thing to focus on as social networks grow, there will be low quality accounts, accept it and move on and let the existing (great) culture police itself imo growing qDAU is done by bringing new people in, not by coaching existing bad poasters
retweeting not bc i endorse but bc i like this content
I hear your frustration. That said âpolicingâ is an unfair characterization. If it were accurate this post wouldn't be getting as much engagement as it is.
we categorize accounts by number of user ops per week. i donât think that is one to one useful jere but may trigger thoughts. what if warpcast users could filter lout users with responses < N words. i would. wdyt.
