thoughts on interesting content

there’s no such thing as objectively interesting content

therefore there’s no black box that can take a piece of content and tell you if it’s interesting 

objectively uninteresting content (from a humans perspective) is more of a thing

random numbers, the letter repeated 723 times, contextless single word replies

you can build a block box that does a reasonably good job of identifying uninteresting content (given contextual inputs like who’s saying it)

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

I think follows play a big role here as one of the most important and persistent signals in a social network

Following someone is directly vouching for them (at least with your attention) and therefore it's likely that you trust who they vouch for as well

Would love to see more feed experiments that lean into that

follows are the most powerful signal from an individuals point of view

an explicit statement that you want to see what this person has to say

their weakness is not being able to identify interesting content from accounts that aren’t already well know

Have you checked the lazy indexer from @stephancill ?
