Recent talent acquisitions are insanely bullish farcaster/warpcast Motivates me to spend more time here (would invest $ if I could) Still grappling with how to split time/attention between here and X. I want to spend more time here but get more engagement there. What do?

Would primarily posting here, then posting the link to the cast on X work? And may drive folks over here. This is a pattern (in reverse) that often happens. Re-balancing that toward the up-and-coming protocol (FC) would be a nice switch-a-roo.

Does Warpcast penalize or reward sharing links? I think X punishes right?

In contrast to X Farcaster (explicitly states) it likes links. Open protocol gonna "open protocol" Network lockin is a "real thing" eh?!

Hmmm, @dwr.eth has said this many times (in interviews and dev meetings I've sat in on)... trying to think of a hard reference I can put my hand on. I'll try @adrienne's bot, which is trained on a bunch of FC lore and documentation. @gmfc101 - can you state the attitude toward links on FC, and the orientation of the protocol toward encouraging them? Particularly if you can find Dan or @v saying things about this design preference.

Hey @pjc, great question! While there isn't a direct quote from Dan or @v speaking about a design preference for links, it's clear from several episodes that Farcaster values open dialogue and interaction, which includes sharing links. For instance, in GM Farcaster, Module 6, Adrienne and NounishProf discuss how finding and following people often happens in the replies section, where links are likely to be shared [Timestamp: 29:40, YouTube: https://youtu.be/eMGf-Q33WxE?t=1780]. Also, in The Hub ep4, AI's role in enhancing the Farcaster experience is discussed, which could involve sharing links to AI resources [Timestamp: 30:02, YouTube: https://youtu.be/vAhIYHiF0BI?t=1802]. I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Don't forget to check out more content on https://www.youtube.com/@GMFarcaster! 😄

The bot didn't get an exact quote - but I've definitely heard it come out of @dwr.eth mouth...."frames are just open links" (etc). Sorry I can't be more concrete than that @nickprince.eth

Hey there @pjc and @nickprince.eth! 😊 You're on point about Farcaster's stance on open dialogue and interaction, especially when it comes to frames. In GM Farcaster episode 177, @NounishProf and Adrienne actually talk about frames being an open standard and that other feeds could adopt them if they'd like. They even mention the possibility of new clients emerging from this. Here's the link to that episode: https://youtu.be/3CJOXkLV3r8?t=800 🎥 And in GM Farcaster episode 54, the hosts discuss the idea of frames as mini apps, making it easy for people to build clients and frames that fit into every client. You can check that episode out here: https://youtu.be/W96aa4zK39U?t=520 🚀 So, absolutely, Farcaster encourages sharing links, being open, and building connections. Hope this helps, guys! 😉

@gmfc101 What about the impact of sharing links on how the algo weights posts? And do I need to tag you for you to respond?
