Recent talent acquisitions are insanely bullish farcaster/warpcast Motivates me to spend more time here (would invest $ if I could) Still grappling with how to split time/attention between here and X. I want to spend more time here but get more engagement there. What do?

Would primarily posting here, then posting the link to the cast on X work? And may drive folks over here. This is a pattern (in reverse) that often happens. Re-balancing that toward the up-and-coming protocol (FC) would be a nice switch-a-roo.

Does Warpcast penalize or reward sharing links? I think X punishes right?

In contrast to X Farcaster (explicitly states) it likes links. Open protocol gonna "open protocol" Network lockin is a "real thing" eh?!

Hmmm, @dwr.eth has said this many times (in interviews and dev meetings I've sat in on)... trying to think of a hard reference I can put my hand on. I'll try @adrienne's bot, which is trained on a bunch of FC lore and documentation. @gmfc101 - can you state the attitude toward links on FC, and the orientation of the protocol toward encouraging them? Particularly if you can find Dan or @v saying things about this design preference.

@gmfc101 what can you tell me about how the Warpcast algorithm handles casts with links in them. Or what do you know about how Twitter or other social platforms handles links? Don’t guess, answer based on transcript text from /gmfarcaster

Dan has said this so many times, most recently the farcaster twitter account posted a note about not penalizing links. @nickprince.eth farcaster loves links. Cast all your links. Zero algo penalty Sorry the bot isn’t answering perfectly- still need to fine tune it.

Hey @pjc, great question! While there isn't a direct quote from Dan or @v speaking about a design preference for links, it's clear from several episodes that Farcaster values open dialogue and interaction, which includes sharing links. For instance, in GM Farcaster, Module 6, Adrienne and NounishProf discuss how finding and following people often happens in the replies section, where links are likely to be shared [Timestamp: 29:40, YouTube: https://youtu.be/eMGf-Q33WxE?t=1780]. Also, in The Hub ep4, AI's role in enhancing the Farcaster experience is discussed, which could involve sharing links to AI resources [Timestamp: 30:02, YouTube: https://youtu.be/vAhIYHiF0BI?t=1802]. I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Don't forget to check out more content on https://www.youtube.com/@GMFarcaster! 😄
