Warpcast

Semi-regular Warpcast annoyances thread

If you were BDFOWF, what would you have us work on? 

BDFOWF = benevolent dictator for one warpcast feature

Already on the list but lower priority for now:
- Pinned casts on user profiles
- Better image support
- GIF keyboard in app

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Videos for everyone. It being restricted to power badges only limits new artists who use that format for their art. 

I hear it as a regular complaint from non PB but genuine users.

Can't do it without hiring a massive moderation team. Significant liability for uploading illegal content.

We've given video access to a lot of people and minimal engagement tbh

I understand this, but have been seeing a good number of quality casters who don't have a power badge. Maybe there's some room for improvement in the power badge criteria so that more talented artists can post videos.

How would you determine who is talented and good? :)

Hey from Lens made it very interesting in this regard, where you can apply for verification if the conditions are correct

I think it’s important to point out that Hey ≠ Lens, it’s a client built on Lens. The Warpcast power badge is meant for Warpcast (the client), not the entirety of farcaster. 

There’s nothing stopping someone from creating their own verification system that is similar to hey’s for their own farcaster client

Frequently incoherent. Hater. Not interesting. Very boring.

Agreed, it's the one major "downside" of having a client so connected to the protocol team. I had the same thought when I voiced my concerns around the time priority mode got turned on for everyone by default. 

I'm pretty confident that the Farcaster guys know this and will push/support 3rd party clients more and more

I agree in theory, but the reality is almost everyone here is using Warpcast. Even if I create my own client with a "better" badge system, I'll still be subject to the Warpcast badge because that's where everyone else is.

The question was not about vocient but about letting people know how to get a verification badge and not about the fact that it is a third-party client
