For the newer people on Farcaster:

These types of replies aren't useful. Better to use a like than a reply.

I get that 1) people are excited / trying to be friendly and 2) not everyone's first language is English. However, low effort replies will eventually start to hurt your account's visibility on Farcaster.

How does this square with a permissionless ethos?

The protocol (FC) is permissionless.

Each client however (such as WC) can have its own ground rules, including for which content to promote/demote, show/hide, etc.

If people don’t agree with the rules of a client, they can move to another, and keep their social graph with them (which is the whole point).
