Memes are intertextual and referential but Coins don't make these properties as legible as they could. When I see $horsephin I wish I could trace its evolution back to $horse and follow the network of references. Even better if attention and value could flow through it too.

gonna burn for this, but most italians have astoundingly terrible taste in food or fashion 🥲 % of italians who is actually comfortable with foreign cuisines is negligible, and fashion is export-only

A few thoughts on replies vs. Quote casts

1. We originally didn't have quote casts for a while. People complained about not having quote casts.

2. We've run 50/50 split tests on the home feed for nearly a year and the current "for you" algorithm—which does bump up some replies—performs better on engagement and retention than previous versions (esp. the following feed with reply bumping).

3. We've since added the following feed for power users to be able to toggle as their default. Very few people actually do this. Stated vs. revealed preference.

4. Naive reply bumping—which we had for a few years—was a relic of when the network literally didn't have new posts for minutes at a time (and I was the one usually filling in the gaps with an open ended question).

5. Naive reply bumping gets abused (remember @briang's livestreams?) and is EXTREMELY confusing for new users. If you think Farcaster in-group or "cabal" vibes are bad, reply bumping for new users makes it way worse.

all signs pointing to @briang making a come back

in today's edition of stfu bro, don't you know that nobody cares?

when they said "these are your keys. we keep custody of them in order to enable a great account recovery experience and you may opt out"

they really meant to add, "and also to sign things when it's useful for the network"

but that's not as clean of a message
