I've said for a long time that Warpcast made a big mistake in February 2024 by getting rid of the reply bumping + chronological home feed and going algo only

most people replied "go use another client", but my point was never about my personal experience

it was that this decision caused huge downstream effects on the network because the vast majority of users use Warpcast and won't use an alt client any time soon

therefore, if Warpcast makes a bad decision with feed quality, the entire network will suffer as the majority of users have to live with that bad decision 

the hypothesis was that many users (like myself) used the reply bumping feed as a way of finding interesting, active conversations, and then often joining in on those conversations

getting rid of reply bumping and giving users a basic algo feed without comprehensive visibility into what the people we follow were replying to would harm that flow of conversation

and according to the data, that's what happened 👇
