Q: Do you moderate your channels? If so, what do you use and how do you decide what to keep? Yes, I moderate channels manually. Currently, I don't use automod for any of the channels I moderate because I don't believe it effectively filters relevant content. Instead, I manually review all posts and give a "heart" to what aligns most with the channel's ethos and mission, ensuring it appears in the main feed. When changes around channel ownership and the introduction of automod were implemented, I found the communication confusing. My feed was flooded with opinions about the changes, but I couldn't find a definitive source of truth. Even now, I feel I lack a complete understanding of all the available tooling options. I see this as a fundamental issue that Farcaster needs to address if the platform is to reach a broader audience. Curating content should be straightforward for moderators, and they should be promptly informed about system-wide changes affecting channel operations. ⬇️

To improve this, channel moderators and owners should receive direct notifications or messages about updates, including links to relevant information and guidance on how these changes impact their work. Additionally, there should be a comprehensive list of FAQs for each channel, detailing its purpose, allowed content, relevance criteria, and mission. This information could then be fed to a trained /llm that reads posts in the channel to act as an effective auto moderating tool. ⬇️

Please understand that my opinions come from a Web2 perspective and are based on my experiences as a user. I believe these gaps are why newcomers without crypto experience may find it challenging to stick with the platform. Currently, the most significant incentives and value propositions are related to crypto networking and meme coins like DEGEN, or any future coins Farcaster might introduce. It’s not just the focus on crypto; the platform can feel burdensome to use and less rewarding unless you’re already connected with the community IRL.
