Why do we consume our feeds algorithmically but our chats chronologically?

The current chat UX treats all messages as if they’re the same level of importance or relevance even though they’re not, especially in larger groups

This leads to notification fatigue which in turn causes members to mute and check out

I think this is one of the biggest limitations of apps like TG and Discord esp as they’re increasingly used by growing communities

No one wants to clear notifications from a bunch siloed chats, just show me the most interesting discussions that I missed and encourage me to participate

Huge opportunity for Farcaster

Yes. I've always hated messaging apps because of this. Especially group chats. I hate them lol.

Ironically I started working on DCs as soon as I joined Merkle.
