People don’t want to see uninteresting replies and casts.

Best way to solve for that is weight historical inbound engagement for a user, i.e. PageRank-like score for every user.

Disproportionally hurts new accounts. Making it harder to get started.

This is fundamentally caused by the lack of negative signal in the Twitter model.

Try giving users the equivalent of a downvote button

The only problem is externality pricing.

Proposed the downvote button multiple times and people did not like the idea!

That's why we need extended reactions. Let clients experiment with the optimal set of reactions and users will decide which experience they prefer

Not a direct response but I think it should try to decentralize the algo - in other words, let users stay on Warpcast but choose custom algos based on extended reactions (so reactions can be 'installed' just like Cast Actions

Oh interesting. One thing I wonder about is if you get algorithmic MySpacification — where there’s so much inconsistency that it’s overwhelming

It's probably inevitable to get some divergence once the multi-client thesis takes off, but I think for the most part people will settle on some common algos/reactions etc (or at least that's the hope)

It's probably the same with just about anything else. You're gonna have degens & early adopters trying out the latest algos/features and gradually pulling others toward new equilibria. The real hope is that such new reactions/algos can actually 10x signal/noise. I think they can..

I have no doubt they will. The real problem will be getting any change to occur once there’s been settlement
