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 👇

Interesting content! How do you feel the channels are affecting the numbers? I’m even less likely to reply now cause people mostly are only posting in their ugly channels. /murder

these channel changes are REALLY going to cause things to spiral further down imo since everyone is less likely to comment since they're either a) worried about not being in the channel the content was posted b) turned off by the incentive to comment because they know their followers will never see it or may not be allowed in the channel it's fragmentation after fragmentation of the conversation and it makes no sense
