very @bias kind of content. I think client diversity, and more important feed diversity, will be an important differentiator for farcaster as a network because it provably allows unfiltered speech. The trade off of course is convivence, in this case spam filtering, where at the one end you have the firehose of GPT responses and at the other you have no casts. Add that a unlimited number of dimensions of bias and filtering.

Good post by Roon.

Modern algorithms enable subtle censorship. No more obvious bans, but thread is still critical

Algorithmic censorship is really powerful. Seeing how discussions about the Hunter Biden laptop and COVID origins were suppressed, it shows just how important this issue is
