Dan Romero on Warpcast

Dan Romero pfp

PSA for future "shock images" Warpcast will nerf folks for explicit images. It's not deterministic, our judgement. This isn't a court. - I'll ask the user to delete the cast - If they don't, I'll nerf on Warpcast To be clear: the cast exists at the protocol. Similar to websites, Google doesn't have to index you.

More on nerfs here: https://warpcast.notion.site/Nerfs-3226885de1554031b2902ac2d3f9b15c I also suspect Warpcast will eventually have automatic NSFW categorization for images.

So basically what you are saying here is that the promise of a censorship resistant platform doesn’t resist common sense and political correctness?

Not picking a fight. Genuinely curious. (And ❤️ debate) If users have option to unfollow, hide, mute, block, why does client need to nerf? So long as it’s not harming or threatening another person, why take such a heavy hand? I’m not saying you are wrong, just trying to understand your logic and policy.

Can you add an image detection AI to automatically blur suspected NSFW content and warn the users that the image might contain inappropriate stuff?(ofcourse give the users an option to unblur it for themselves).That would be nice.

Would be great to have the nerf service as a public good (or at least a public ally accessible service) for all client developers. I’ve been thinking about that a lot - Livepeer can offer AI based tagging for NSFW videos, and clients can decide what to do.

Much appreciated, Dan. Sincerely. This is a kindness for those of us who wish to keep our feeds completely free of such images.

I find this to be an interesting datapoint about culture. Bluesky had to deal with this within a month (ish) of users having invites. Farcaster made it pretty far with just "stern warnings" from @dwr.eth. (I say this with no knowledge of what the 🚾 team is dealing with behind the scenes.)

Clean, decisive leadership, good job. Bluesky is in the midst of a messier one.

This is actually a great way to incentivize decentralizing the client-base!

I assume we're using the US definition of "explicit" here? What kind of shock image was posted?
