Farcaster

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

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.

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.

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.
