Excited about the growth Farcaster/Warpcast is seeing, but my feed quality has gone way done. 

Used to be a lot more thoughtful discussion. Now it’s largely the degen aspects of crypto twitter (nft mints, airdrops, etc) just amplified. 

Know this will improve over time w/ algo, but some of it is cultural 🫡

Agreed, but I think this can be solved by allowing for more granular control of channel access. 

Token gate channels
Invite only channels
Minimum activity channels
Minimum word count posts
Post cooldown times

I can think of a few more, but having a space for longform ideas from a quality audience would go a long way

I’ve wanted an eyebleach channel forever. Twitter’s ‘for you’ seems to be getting more extreme/dark

Clients could even implement channel lists. You could create an “eye bleach” channel list to flee to as needed, or simply slowly build a better experience over time that you A/B test with your main feed that you may need for networking/learning/alpha. 

I’d be wary of top down changes as it’ll likely lead to the same problems Twitter has where content always skews towards the algorithm meta

If channel owners had a suite of tools they could use to shape how conversations happen, then the protocol would have a ton of experiments running towards quality engagement

I think most of these are channel controls, which certain hosts may or may not want.

Warpcast the client will eventually do a lot of the lifting here to identify spam, low effort posters/accounts, and what content types to prioritize, etc. See the active user badge.
