I quit a large audience on Twitter and joined Farcaster a year ago as a direct replacement. I didn't know Varun or Dan, and indeed, anyone else active on Farcaster at the time. While "the list" made sense early on, it should be opt-in recommendations now - the engagement inequality is very real. This is made worse by the hyperfinancialization, where a handful of those people are incentivized to be very active, while a vast majority of the rest are bots. (IMO, as a casual observer nowadays) Farcaster right now should be aggressively focused on social values over financial values (and yes, this is a very direct contradiction and trade-off) - in design, engineering, and most importantly marketing. Unless the terminal addressable market target is degens, which is fair enough.

Honest question: there are basically no financialized features built into Warpcast or the protocol, just open primitives and emergent behavior. If you're designing, engineering, and marketing the main client and core protocol, how do you discourage hyperfinancialization? Social shaming?

The (test) elimination of priority mode is a huge step in the right direction in regards to evening the engagement playing field imo. Just hope it sticks around 😅

A very fair reflection. In traditional social networks, I think the incentive is similar though more indirect; influencers also monetize content creation but with more difficulty due to intermediaries, which is why the phenomenon may not be as widespread. In my opinion, the challenge lies in creating the right incentives so that this activity generates value for everyone, while also enabling the social aspect. I believe the opportunity lies in precisely changing that advertising model that underlies the content in general. https://mirror.xyz/0x3e0cf03f718520F30300266dcF4DB50bA12d3331/lHvm-sB91ZlGbcdVY1L07PO9EP_3LpwhKjN8Cj-Mvlw

I think it can be both financial and social….the amazing part for me on the degen front has been actually meeting and interacting with artists and builders and yes, rewarding them with Degen tips. I have also made real connection with people. Had real policy debates. Learned about new innovations in blockchain. And shared parenting advice. We need a sustainable model but need to embrace how unique this place is and how diverse the user base is.

This highlights the reason that I wrote my latest essay - explaining why builders should be applying philosopher John Rawls' principles for creating fair and just social systems as they create - and iterate - on Farcaster and elsewhere in Web3. https://paragraph.xyz/@degenaissancedigest/philosophy-for-web3-builders

Not sure how "the list" is generated, but the general onboarding style that seems to be well adopted is suggestions based on interests. There should be sufficient data now to develop a graph of users who are "good" subject matter experts across popular domains.

I just wrote this cast regarding this issue which is pretty similar to what you are saying here. https://warpcast.com/teleyinex.eth/0x167fc241

Farcaster is neutral on all of those topics, but the Warpcaster client is not. We need more client diversity or a "choose your feed algo" feature.

Agreed, financialization will happen as it’s inherently part of digital ownership. Shouldn’t be the focus.

This is an aspect in which Lens is currently dominating Farcaster, onboarding human non-devs and non-degens and making it worth being there for purely human reasons
