did those places suppress criticism in favor of whatever else?

not rhetorical— what does “suppress” mean in this context?

in this context, "suppress" lies on spectrum between nerf, ban, shadowban, generic follow, super follow, highlight, tip 4 tip, boost, paid boost (disclosed/not disclosed) observation: there is less negativity on the Warpcast Home Feed than can be found on other Farcaster clients, or on most parts of the internet with similar heterogeneous gatherings of loosely organized people. hypothesis: the algo actively shapes what gets shown in Warpcast and the culture responds to and reinforces a suppression of valid criticism we are already so low on hot takes, spicy takes, bad takes. When one does appear, the line from above (and below and around) is "don't feed the trolls", "this is FUD", "I am open to criticism but once your tone crosses my policy line, I will permanently mute you" to answer your original question (I don't know who is in the chat but suspect I know them), yes they did, multiple times, I had to look for it though because they don't control the space where we might have heard it 1/2

2/2 it wasn't zachxbt in the chat, but when zachxbt complained for months and eventually made a public announcement of leaving, most Farcasterooors response was "whew I'm glad dwr and v investigated and addressed it to our satisfaction. FC culture ftw!" we are not getting 100% of the zachxbt alpha (or access!) that we might otherwise have gotten. same goes for the alfa-bearing account in the chat who seems bitter

i appreciate your write up. i was curious because D+V said they don’t shadow ban. i’ve observed “censoring” from a more social, norms-setting level— that negative content doesn’t get the same reach because users are simply less interested, and thus assumed it’s more indicative of the types of users/communities on here. i do find the sentiments a bit homogenous at times and am excited to see how other clients might provide more balanced feeds https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0xa974c2e4
