1/4 Exciting to see the $DEGEN community and Farcaster discussing moderation. While some worry about adding moderation, it’s actually a chance to build a unique, unbiased system unlike any other social platform. Open data is Farcaster’s strength, but we need to ensure algorithms are also transparent and neutral.

2/4 In an election year, having the power to choose your feed’s algorithm and understand what content is filtered is crucial. Kudos to Wildcard.lol for being the first to offer this choice, like using the $DEGEN feed. It’s about transparency and letting us decide what we see!

4/4 Farcaster has the chance to lead with a system that’s open, transparent, and unbiased. Let’s lean into what sets us apart and build a platform where everyone can see how decisions are made. Together, we can make social media better!

3/4 Some might see moderation as limiting, but it’s actually empowering if done right. Open data without fair moderation is like putting a Ferrari engine in a 98 Corolla—it’s all about how we use that potential. We can have both open data and fair, open moderation.
