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.

Why are you telling people what to cast? Farcaster is a social network with norms. What's made Farcaster a fun place so far is people are thoughtful and take the time to engage meaningfully. Additionally, Warpcast is planning to add defaults that hide low effort replies. (Other apps may offer different options.)

Since now we have a Preview screen, can we show this as an alert message when a low effort reply/cast is attempted. Could also add a warning saying this msg may be hidden.

Agreed that the commitment to signal > noise is what makes this place great But are there not certain channels/communities (trading comes to mind) that are more prone to low quality engagement? Should they just build specialty clients?

I'd say it comes from "bad" X habits - there you're kinda helping people's posts by replies

Hiding low-effort replies is a good start (if an original post has a lot of replies). It will be a shortlived bandaid, though: once people learn this, they will start using AI tools to generate replies, so you will need a system that recognizes that and hides it. Cat and mice game all over again.
