my favorite part of the new channels design is that it enables the network to be socially fragmented as it grows more fragmentation => less misunderstanding, dunking, vitriol https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-internet-wants-to-be-fragmented

Is there another way? After all we see what the desire to be fragmented, isolated leads to: Raw tribal ideological fights. Exposure to different ideas, other ways of thinking is both repulsive and one of the best ways to grow (imo). Farcaster provides a distribution-level knob by construction. I see that as a fantastic opportunity for a social-level knob to search a greater Pareto equilibrium point.

I think the key is localized content curation & moderation. Ex: Facebook groups fragment people but the algo always shapes the discourse to maximize time spent in the app, resulting in less time exposed to other communities & perspectives.

Do you think localised can be the "right way" to curate and moderate? Historical examples seems to show that we always tend to some form of collegial dictatorship :sweat:. Farcaster/Warpcast may have a great flexibility to explore the Algorithm space, especially decentralised ones as you suggest on curation/moderation. Perhaps what's missing (and feasible here?) are mechanisms to avoid anyone/group to dominate, yet maintaining the nature of a group.

It sounds like concepts as "benevolent dictatorship protocols" discussed in /sop some time ago could be of use. Was it a discussion involving @vgr and @timber ? What is your take on the new channels and direction?
