Everyone opted in, fwiw A consistent piece of feedback from people with large audiences on Twitter but were early on Farcaster (because I knew them): "Farcaster is great, but I forget to post there" So this is an experiment to syndicate their content to Farcaster. May take some time for people to start responding, but certainly the next time they open the app up they will have a full notifications feed and hopefully some thoughtful content. If "casts with no chance of reply" is how you're viewing this, i.e. it's a negative, just don't follow an account or if you're seeing recasts, mute them. The pragmatic view: still a higher chance that an account replies to you on Farcaster than on Twitter. That's just reality.

Very helpful context — with opt-in, and if the initial cohort plan to engage here, it’s a nice bootstrapping mechanism to reduce friction to get onto FC What was weird about this feature rollout was: 1. Lack of prior comms, leading me (and others) to interpret what was happening - apologies if it came off negative 2. The composition of the initial cohort. Celeb tier folks mixed in with Twitter power users, the former feels more jarring in juxtaposition of regular context (friends vibing with plenty of prior context)

1. We didn’t want to prime people to have an opinion before. Wanted to see how people engaged. 2. Not sure I understand the composition point? It was a group of people with large audience Twitter accounts who don’t post that frequently here
