Warpcast vs X algorithm, a small account's perspective:
Warpcast: Consistent 10 likes.
X: Usually 1 like, a few get 100 likes. Nothing in the middle.
One of these feels like it's optimizing for being a casino.

Verify your X account
You can now connect a X (Twitter) account on Warpcast and it will show up on your profile.
We’re going to experiment with using this as a signal to give users more reach on the app.
Should be rolling out to all users now.

seeing a few huge positive trends online and in the world
for example, elon musk reposting levelsio, a self-taught indie hacker / solo builder - big win and culture shift towards bootstrapped founders
and I love it because it's a much more humane way to do it vs chasing to raise funds

TIL when you’re signed out of X profile pages show only original tweets in descending order of likes
It also won’t let you view profiles of users with small followings without signing in

I concede that it's very difficult to bootstrap recommendations for users who refuse to follow anyone. (Warpcast faces this challenge too).
...but I logged into a brand new account recently to find these 7 suggested tweets:

The Raygun post escaped containment on Twitter. It's been a while since I had one go beyond CT. Observations:
Following is truly dead: close to 1m impressions converted to 6 new followers.
It went through four distinct phases:
1. Breakout: need 10+ likes in the first 5 minutes or it's dead.
2. My following, mostly Ethereum and Farcaster.
3. Poasters: bluesky bios, dirtbag ironists on left and right, tech and postrats. Don't think it was too politically coded so there was something for everyone. Everyone still in on the joke at this point.
4. Normies: journos, assistant professors, accounts that send GIF replies. This is when they started taking the "well, actually" bait.
Probably won't make it to the circle of "true normies" beyond that.

Took them 3 days, but 𝕏 finally lifted the automated red flag from my account after a manual review.
I realize there‘a no easy way around this as they’re constantly warding off hordes of spammers and illicit account takeovers, but still, not a great experience as a paying customer.

Thank you Twitter, very cool.
I think today might have been the dumbest day in the history of Twitter.
Why would I use Warpcast when X has such high and valuable engagement? (The bots aren’t even trying to hide anymore)
i am @christintweets on x / twitter
i'm looking for more fc mutuals, so ummm pls follow me and i'll folback
(not leaving!! just bridging more x / twitter connections back to here 🌉 )

how often do you use X compared to Farcaster, and why?
if I liked your pump/dunk in the past week, yes, this is about you

Removing public likes has:
1) Made me realize I'm a snoop. I found lots of interesting stuff in the likes tab of people I know. Great way to quickly find "more like this" when you discover someone new. Now I bounce and don't engage.
2) Immediately made me more tribalistic. I am much more likely to smash like on pumps and dunks from "my team" since only the author sees my embarrassing behavior.
Neither seems good!

"Farcaster has a problem with spam and low effort replies"
X has a problem with hundreds of blatant impersonators (some gold verified) in the replies of important announcements, boosted by thousands of obvious bots, and any one of these links will drain your wallet within 3 clicks
I think FC is doing pretty okay

There’s a Twitter API for embedding <iframe>s??
How has no one ever told me about this? 🤯

what are things X has that you'd like to see more of on Farcaster?
removed X from my iphone, moving forward will be interacting only from desktop — want to make sure that whenever i'm logged in, it's productive.
Every day I get 10-50 of these Bored Ape bots follow me, then get banned a few days later. Anyone else? What the hell are they getting out of it?
Grateful we have this channel!
Will be a good place to visit in 2030 to learn about a platform formerly called Twitter.

If everyone just started tweeting or dm'ing "Fuck you, give it back" at me on twitter I wouldn't be mad...in fact i'd encourage it.
Twitter support is fucked. Time for bully mode.

"This is the last tweet in the thread" method of preventing scammers is now broken because it's no longer guaranteed to be the last tweet in the thread
do you use twitter communities? how are they different to farcaster channels?
This tweet isn't real
weights used by twitter for their feed ranking
interesting to see heavy boosts for replies from author. incentivising thread guys

I get such toxic vibes on Twitter, literally a sick feeling when I open it nowadays.
