We have to get the algo feed right. Existential.

for anyone curious this is the reason we can't have a chronological feed (even though 90%+ of users want one)

Warpcast team doesn't see that the quality of the algo feed is downstream of having the basics right (chronological feed ensures good visibility for new posts early on, boosting quality of discussion)

so instead they try to tweak an algo that isn't being fed good enough content in the first place

You should really use another client. You’re never going to win this argument.

this isn't about me, this is about trying to help the ecosystem as a whole

you're giving creators and users a suboptimal experience

most will use Warpcast first then bounce if they don't like it

not having a table-stakes option like a chronological feed that rewards both content consumers and creators is going to hurt Farcaster and everyone that has spent time to build a product/audience/community on here

Consumers in 2024 don’t use chronological feeds. It’s niche.

why would Twitter still have one then? you think they have a feature with 0% usage?

Discord is a chronological feed, group chats are chronological feeds, consumers use them

the "golden age" of Warpcast that the OGs talk about was a chronological feed 

you're limiting your product options because a few megacorp social sites made algos their priority

you can help undo "the death of the follower" if you're willing to go against the dogma on this product decision

Threads is a brand new social network and it chose to have a chronological "following" feed too, it's not just Twitter making a legacy decision 

you also cited 3 sites that are primarily visual mediums

text social is different and powered by conversations, not visuals (reason why I bring up chat UX)

conversations need early interaction or else they die, so a home feed full of 2 hour old posts makes no sense for text social

finally, let's be real, Warpcast is not anywhere near dealing in the amount of content that the other sites you reference are

you're still bootstrapping a community here, it's totally logical to step back and say "maybe it's too early to go all-in on algo even if big guys do it"

Chat UX != feed UX, lol

Twitter is chrono is legacy. All effort the last 5 years is algo. It switches you back to algo because that's better for all metrics.

The dominant social networks like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube are all algo. That's consumer revealed preference.
