Warpcast Experiment: X-Posting 

A few users who were active on X but not FC were invited to cross post. 

We want to see if cross posting makes them more likely to engage with Farcaster (beyond the cross post). 

If that happens, we'll roll it out more broadly. If it doesn't we may pause it.

Everyone opted in, fwiw

A consistent piece of feedback from people with large audiences on Twitter but were early on Farcaster (because I knew them):

"Farcaster is great, but I forget to post there"

So this is an experiment to syndicate their content to Farcaster. May take some time for people to start responding, but certainly the next time they open the app up they will have a full notifications feed and hopefully some thoughtful content.

If "casts with no chance of reply" is how you're viewing this, i.e. it's a negative, just don't follow an account or if you're seeing recasts, mute them.

The pragmatic view: still a higher chance that an account replies to you on Farcaster than on Twitter. That's just reality.

I genuinely hope that the experiment is successful and we get more users thanks to it. But I just feel annoyed by these casts rn, will definitely unfollow if I see too many of these casts.

Okay one request - don't show the content of these X posters in my feed if I am not following them. I don't want to mute them because it is currently hard to keep track of who I have muted.
