Farcaster

fwiw, i think it's awesome that we're doing "permissionless mumbo jumbo" (points, degen, ham, hunt, moxie...), paired with developer legos, speedrunning experiments — there's no place to learn like farcaster and i wish it had been here in my 20s.

someone likened FC to an incubator similar to YC (@tldr ?) and they're absolutely spot on.

Talented people speedrunning experiments with developer legos

I think @ted and @nonlinear.eth also made a similar point on /manysuchcases a couple episodes ago.

Ie, that FC is fortunate to have the chance to figure out a lot of these “problems” that come with financialization (reply farming, etc) at our current scale. 

Bc these problems must be solved… do it early!

I keep seeing reply farming tagged as a problem but i need to understand 

Aren’t these tokens/projects distributed through these mechanisms to improve the rate of engagements or ‘replies’ in this case

Is anything wrong in some people trying to reply many people/posts they relate with (emphasis on ‘relate’) to get more?

Isn’t everyone trying to make money?

Yesss
I totally get this
But i think the innocent also suffer or get affected by that mentality 

There are very obvious reply baits that should obviously be ignored

I will admit that when moxie first launched, I also got distracted. It’s not excuse, but I’m human too, it tends to happen when it involves monetary rewards(which doesn’t make it right)

But I grew. I figured it was affecting me cus i started trying hard to get rewards but the moment i changed, it got even better. I mean, you followed me from a genuine convo we once had. I never thought that would happen

But let’s forget about those replying for now. Let’s think about those with high far scores.

The moment they feel like every comment that’s not from early users or those they were familiar with before is an attempt at farming them for moxie, it reduces their user experience quality and they don’t get the most of what they should be experiencing on here. Don’t you think?

Many people are here to have genuine conversations. When you feel that someone is replying to you in order to make a little money, it makes those conversation feel less genuine — and hence, for many people, worse
