Will Farcaster ever do it? Nope. It wants to attract engagement by incentivising the same viral content. Fuk outta here

They're both horrible of course, but on reflection I'd say that engaging with intellectually dishonest people is worse. You have some respect for their intelligence and this causes you to waste time talking to them. Whereas with the new dumb trolls I just can't be bothered.

The more important question is whether it's possible to create a social media app where you don't have to deal with either kind of troll. I'm not sure, but my guess is yes. It's still early days. And if it is possible, that's a very exciting idea.

Slight variation to what @rch said: a good client must use the (neutral) protocol to allow the users (and agents) to moderate. I respectfully disagree, anon, that WC incentivizes the trolls that Paul is talking about.
