I think one reason Farcaster feels so *nice* to use and be on is that it seems so… normal. Not much shitposting, heated arguments, etc. Just good vibes. Is there any way to keep this intact as Farcaster scales?

This has been an ongoing thought from some other pre-permissionless folk with hopes to keep the same vibes. I don't see it scaling, though. One idea has been to create a custom client that is gated by FID. I think this would be too exclusive and create this strange elitism that goes against the very vibes in question.

How about Reddit-style communities, governed by designated users (heck, throw a multisig on there and call it a DAO), which can have their own community guidelines and rules?

Defining a culture is key when it comes to community-style networks. Twitter's culture has completely degenerated. Farcaster still it. But ultimately, I agree, that you need "moderators" that have certain privileges. I wonder if this can be built on top of FC. It'd be cool to work on that.

We have communities (channels), some of which are meant to replicate existing subreddits. But keep in mind that mod options are limited. Channel owners can only hide or boost casts, and that’s only within a given app; the underlying protocol (FC) is permissionless, so moderated content will show up in other apps.

I sense that’s the direction we’re heading in but it’s not quite the same as the Farcaster vibe. To me a lot of the vibe comes from being early and uncertain of what’s to come, thus we’re a bit nicer to one another. There’s also currently less to gain from seeking engagement, though not for long, I think.
