We're shutting down the x-posting experiment. 

For a few months, we've been testing a feature with a few users to cross posts their tweets from X to Farcaster. 

We're shutting it down because we can't get it to work reliably with the current APIs, and when it fails it's really frustrating for users.

Difference in content types make this really hard to work 100%. 

It's also not achieving the goal of increasing conversations. People who x-post don't use the app any more frequently. People who see x-posts are les likely to engage because the content isn't authentic to FC.

I personally didn’t like it because it was like talking to a wall. The best part of Farcaster is meeting people and getting to have real conversations. I hug people IRL when I meet them now. I’ve never hugged anyone I met on Twitter or Discord. I ended up muting all the accounts that were cross posting because there was no point to talk to them, and I didn’t want to get a spam label when they didn’t reply to me.

Works better in the opposite direction where it’s natural to be talking to a wall tbh
