What makes an account "inauthentic"? We're considering a new labelling system for inauthentic accounts. These accounts, often incorrectly called bots, will be hidden from like counts and other metrics in Warpcast. Inauthentic accounts give real people the ick because they're clearly trying to get value for their account at the expense of everyone else on the network.

Direct Casts now default to 1 year retention instead of 30 days! Our infrastructure has gotten a lot more reliable, and we're defaulting to longer retention periods by default. h/t to @gt for pushing this through.

channel drawer on web has been temporarily removed because it was causing a lot of performance issues and crashes as people added more channels. will try to bring it back if we can fix the issue. otherwise we may need to change the way browsing channels from the side bar works.

We're changing the format of Farcaster Dev Calls. - 5m weekly videos summarizing the major changes. - 1h q&a session every month for feedback. - impromtu dev calls if there are major discussion points in between. We're going to try this for two months and revert back the old format if people don't like this.
