Farcaster

strong agree. the design surface for channel focussed apps is under explored. we have useful building legos already with neynar, automod and openrank -- channel rankings and channel feeds are in a good spot. apps can further customize, curate and moderate channel users and feeds.

How can you identify reputable users within a community or channel?
- create channel specific power badges/user segmentation. incentivize good curation permissionlessly.

How to show better content/feeds? Which content should appear first?
- use channel feeds based on your own curated power users and their content (automod+openrank+neynar)

DM if you're thinking about this.

In current Farcaster, freedom of speech exists, but the distribution of information is not, with most traffic focused on early users.

Other blockchain ecosystems like Solana, Blast, definitely want their own social networks to control content distribution.

How to use channels to meet this need is a crucial growth point for Farcaster.

Recaster can be a client level tool to integrate with those dev legos and run some experiments.

What are your thoughts on content distribution that is not based purely on engagement (as that heavy favors bigger accounts)?

I mean the channel / channel owner should have more power, which can help the content distribution in channel.
