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
