Farcaster

Farcaster obsession with policing speech like one word replies is obnoxious. Approaching StackExchange levels of pedantry.

Makes sense. Perhaps this would be less badfeels if instead of telling people what not to cast, which creates culture of *others* telling people what not to cast, the Warpcast compose interface just computed if you're a low quality caster about to cast another low quality reply and gave a gentle nudge in Compose input.

Two options:

1. People change behavior

2. They get hidden by the algo and get frustrated.

We’re trying 1. 

People with plenty of quality casts are fine to use the network however they like. It’s the accounts that are virtually entirely all low effort content.

I hear your frustration.

That said “policing” is an unfair characterization. 

If it were accurate this post wouldn't be getting as much engagement as it is.

In my understanding, and at the risk of adding to the pedantry: that’s not Farcaster, that’s Warpcast. Other FC apps may approach moderation differently and not penalize the visibility of repetitive one-word replies. But at the protocol level, they’re all equally visible.

Fair but I think it’s FC cultural at this point.

It’s WC not FC that’s policing. 
Who’s pedantic now 😂

I have not looked into this network yet thank you

is removing the training wheels of small-group-of-humans moderation. IMO, X has done it, just many people don't like the result. I think (with less knowledge?) 小红书 has done it better

You made me remember Stack Overflow's founder talking about how their strict rules were *the* thing that made their platform successful, even if people complained :)

we categorize accounts by number of user ops per week. i don’t think that is one to one useful jere but may trigger thoughts. what if warpcast users could filter lout users with responses < N words. i would. wdyt.

retweeting not bc i endorse but bc i like this content

I don't mind the policing myself but it does seem like a strange thing to focus on

as social networks grow, there will be low quality accounts, accept it and move on and let the existing (great) culture police itself

imo growing qDAU is done by bringing new people in, not by coaching existing bad poasters

What incentives can we create to nudge for quality interactions?
