i think the answer is change is coming but on a much longer timeframe some aren’t happy waiting for — rightfully so

change comes bottom up and comes from us working together to bring it

the more folks who leave instead of being the change longer the change takes

## why doesn’t farcaster have reply culture

on twitter, popular accounts (@tszzl) come from responding/reacting to everyone

on farcaster, popular accounts come from the founders choosing who would win, then those people choosing who would win

roon used to engage so much i thought it was scripted. top accounts here engage so little you think they’re inactive.

i certainly didn’t choose to see the home/trending feed for 3 years over following feed, but somehow now following is obviously more popular.

farcaster deflects more blame than it accepts

There is a reply culture. It was even quite strong when Degen tips were prevalent.

It feels like now even if the algo does show replies in feed, replies are always less significant than quoting especially for larger accounts. and larger accounts get most of the distribution. 

Now that rewards are also in play, it’s a bit of a vicious cycle with little incentive to do anything apart from do what’s best for your own stats.

Ironically finding it hard to reply to your reply as I don’t quite grasp your point :)

hmm i don't agree in the sense that reply culture in this case for me is depth vs visibility on the reply, unless i misunderstood. The way Twitter works: likes are a signal and replies are a status boost. You're not gonna get anything from me replying to this.
