Farcaster

requiring a power badge (issued in an opaque manner by a centralized authority) to access a "decentralized" service is the antithesis of what i thought farcaster was supposed to stand for.

warpcast can use the badge all they want! (and, they do; my engagement is down ~40% since i lost mine)

other clients should not.

A few things worth corecting.

1. Power badge is not required at the protocol; it's a Warpcast feature that we offer as an API for other apps. They have freedom to use or not use.

2. People don't want to see uninteresting accounts. So we offer a) who you follow and who follows you b) power badge. Again, on Warpcast.

It's still a terrible system that is robbing your own platform of much more content while promoting cliques and a sort of digital caste system - which is slowly killing community.

I've commented so many times on your posts and you probably don't even see them because of this terrible system.

Professional musician, filmmaker, small business owner. Creator of a LOT of things, really.

thats because you are not interesting, sry buddy

if you wrote "i love you dan" or "thats amazing dan" then maybe you would get a badge or a response even

Which is totally organic and not like Twitter at all!
