If we changed the Warpcast default feed to Highlights with 10x casts -- with a boost for new users -- and made Following the 2nd tab, what would your reaction be?

Although I think you should start laying the foundations for people to configure those tabs, and their ordering, with Warpcast defaults (Highlights, Following) and third party custom algos like what Bluesky just released.

Makes sense. Playing devil’s advocate, it’s unclear that third party apps are going to scale. @ev mentioned early on here that third party Twitter apps didn’t represent a super meaningful chunk of usage (back when the APIs were way more open)

Super curious to know what % of FC activity is happening off WC

3rd party algos are less likely for Warpcast

We'd rather encourage people to use other apps like Discove, Jam, Yup, Alphacaster.

Unclear custom algos scale (who pays for all the infra? what's the performance / latency like?)

One other concept that's a core difference between Bluesky and FC

Since your identity and data live onchain / Hubs, you don't have to have a home server / app. So you can easily use a variety of clients with different algos.

Bsky server model is closer to email, so algos come from your home backend.
