Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

Fair. However, those are spoken/unspoken rules of social engagement that people learn over a lifetime of trail and error, mimicing, and explicit instructions.

I literally had to tell my five year-old at a party to not lick his friend. 

The vibe around here this week is that no one understands where the line is because the line between organically growing your account and reaching out to new people and being "spammy" is quite thin. 

I get the kind of explicit spammy behavior that they are trying to target, but at the moment the vibe is that people are wary to post or engage at all for fear of a shadow ban because they had "too long" of a conversation or said hello to 7 new people, when the correct number was 6.

While I understand the why’s, having not having rewarding and feel-good experiences on social media platform rarely motivates people to engage more or input more. I always put lots of effort into my content and building connections, but lately it feels futile.

And again, I fully understand the why of attempting to clean up spammy behavior.

It's the abrupt and opaque implementation of these new policies on a social media platform that was billed as a more open platform with greater user ownership over their own content.
