Farcaster

Get ready for our AMA with David @df later on 🤗

Most would have heard of @df from being active on Farcaster, and his involvement within the Farcaster Ecosystem, but are you aware of @mod yet? 

This is a great opportunity to learn more, so get ready with your questions! 👇🏻

Curious what's next for Frames? What's possible?

🔮 Here's a 4 min video shared a couple weeks ago w Farcaster to propose extending Casts with Open Graph metadata to enable polls & richer embeds

thats a very long time horizon for how fast things are moving here. 

Ideal path: Mod enables Frames-like builder & innovations, but with more expressive UIs, more powerful APIs (onchain txs) and across ecosystems. 

I think there's a good summary here

Yoyo! What’s the ideal path for mods in the coming 6-12months?

I think most of the security issues in decentralized social are related to vectors for bot like abuse; spam; manipulation of engagement rates; incentivized algorithms. 

I think transparency like we have in Farcaster opens up these risks to be tackled on by many teams rather just one like at traditional companies

Hi david 

I'm very interested in the future of farcaster, but security is very important.

What are the main challenges faced in implementing decentralized social media systems, and how can solutions be found to ensure the security and sustainability of such platforms like farcaster ?

easier to build now, I'm sure we will see it make a come back by other devs. 

At mod we're experimenting with building some app like things, but not full clients. 

I think it's still too hard to build something great enough to get meaningful marketshare/DAUs off Warpcast and we need to focus

Hi David! I was a huge fan of Discove and coves (custom lists/feeds) more specifically. I enjoy having a firehose feed but also being able to focus in with a more curated experience on social media.

Do you have any plans to resurrect a similar sort of custom feed/lists-like feature for the Farcaster ecosystem?
