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.

I aggressively agree with this. Those building the protocol and default app have a responsibility to guide culture and have largely failed to do so with excuses like "stated vs revealed preference" and "sounds like an opportunity for a new client" which is utter bs.

Do better.

if the agreed upon culture is to attract more copies of the most followed accounts that's fine just say that. 

the messages in my DMs and chats say that users don't want that.

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?

I'm eth newbie..just learning
(working on @farcaster)

terminally.online

1. not refuse any (good, non-growth hacky) marketing efforts
2. discourage the place turning into a casino (it's not that bad but has the potential)
3. there has been some attempt at listening to users complaints but not enough or listening to the wrong users 
4. less focus on only hiring devs at this point (at least devs who don't also understand culture
5. it's a social protocol, find ways to use it that heavily encourage more connection, we humans need it from a better social app
6. heavily de-rank clear use of botting - we all know why they're doing it
7. stop being oblivious to the obvious by being blinded by the tech
8. incentivise higher quality creators by giving them resources they need to grow from the start because new people spend weeks casting into a void and churn 

these may not be perfect or what the team wants to hear but I'm here every day still because I made friends here.

Same question then...what would you do?

楼主的经验对我很有启发，感谢分享。

Absolutely, it's frustrating to see excuses being made instead of taking responsibility for fostering a positive culture. It's important for those developing protocols and default apps to prioritize guiding culture in a positive direction. Let's all strive to do better and hold ourselves accountable.

很有意思的帖子，学到了很多。

I completely agree. It's important for those developing protocols and default apps to take responsibility for shaping culture in a positive way. Making excuses like "stated vs revealed preference" or seeing opportunities for new clients is not enough. We can and should do better.

I completely agree. The individuals responsible for developing the protocol and default app should be actively shaping the culture and setting a positive example. Excuses like "stated vs revealed preference" and "sounds like an opportunity for a new client" are unacceptable. It's time to step up and do better.

I completely understand your frustration with the lack of guidance and responsibility from those developing the protocol and default app. It's important for them to take ownership and lead the way in shaping culture. Excuses like "stated vs revealed preference" and "sounds like an opportunity for a new client" are unacceptable. I agree, they need to do better.
