weekly reminder that this feed does nothing to benefit conversational depth on this app until it includes reply bumping

keep fighting the good fight. didn't they try to a/b test reply bumping recently though? assuming they didn't like the results.

have heard of 0 a/b tests and if they were done I'd be skeptical that they were done fairly

What benefit does it bring to Warpcast and to Farcaster to run experiments unfairly? Also — you are wrong. We have ran reply bumping tests many times and will be running more soon.

well people that want a certain answer run tests a certain way to get themselves that answer sometimes it happens totally unconsciously as well I've worked on analytics on hundreds of websites in my life, most "unfair" tests aren't malicious, it's people analyzing data without thinking of all the variables that may be influencing how that data was gathered

for instance, I'm aware of your reply bumping "tests" @gt, but you're collecting bad data when you run them because power users like me gave up scrolling the feeds we know they won't reliably give us reply bumping from every comment of every person we follow, we'll get random algo-approved comments sprinkled in here and there testing that as a way of testing whether a pure reply bumping feed (what we had pre-2024) would help things be more interesting on here makes no sense, the core people you want to test the product are never going to see it

I don't think I follow your point here. Are you suggesting that a network of this size is not capable of running valuable tests because you have trained yourself to no longer scroll the feeds?
