Dan Romero on Warpcast

Dan Romero pfp

How would you feel if Warpcast replaced likes (the heart icon) with reddit / HN style upvote and added a downvote on every cast? 1 - strongly against this, would stop using the app 10 - hell yes, would greatly improve the experience

probably 1. I like the current culture in which someone comments if they disagree or agree strongly, like if they agree, and ignore it if they feel neutral. Warpcast algo is much better than reddits already

2.5 - I understand the intent, but think there’s a large risk of external and internal brigading since the core community is still so small right now. Anecdotally, there’s a specific energy that comes from downvoters and it seems like it’s rarely for anti-spam purposes

prefer Warpcast having its own identity e.g. how would the GM reactions work with something like this? Agree with jacob on adding slack type emojis instead of copying reddit

2. Wouldn’t stop using the app but “downvote” “upvote” and those arrow icons have bad, HN/reddit neckbeard vibes Keep it simple

I don’t think upvote / downvote works with public people. You get personal attacks and gamified mob downvoting for personal reasons. Need anon or quasi anon like Reddit

5? i don't think i'd stop using the app because of this, but it would be a behavior change i'd have to get used to i think of warpcast as "if subreddits had twitter's format" might need a different client that mimicked reddit's UI/UX more for me to get used to upvote/downvote

2. Even with my Reddit background, would rather leave the downvote in the past. Appreciate the diversity of opinions the “like only” approach provides.

I did some mocks on this a while back for jam. I was planning to go in the direction of upvotes only, and giving users bundles of votes that they earned through engagement or could purchase

2-3, generally not as active participating in communities that have downvote features (usually end up lurking instead)

3 I'd say stick with the heart or go whole hog allowing arbitrary emoji reactions... anything in-between smacks of half-assed market regulation

I’d likely not use the up/down vote like use likes. Maybe parent cast be simple like and all replies are up/down votes?

against but wouldn't stop using. i think the switch would make it seem like fc is competing with reddit vs. twitter. forums vibe is less serious

8, will this be a Warpcast feature or a hub change? 10 If it is hub-level. Can greatly improve the dev experience by filtering out spam/low quality casts
