You wrote this? It makes a lot of good points and poses good questions. I think Farcaster has seemed like a big breath of fresh air to me the past 4 years due to how different the algorithm functions thanks for different incentives for the platform. I've been locked out of my Facebook account for 5 or 6 weeks now and feel like that has given me perspective to say a few things about my own experiences. Facebook has put into place some very aggressive AI moderation lately and there is literally no human reviewing any of it until someone is banned indefinitely. This is an interesting development considering they are otherwise trying to maximize how long people on are the site/app. Many of the people I've been talking to about this experience via Reddit are long time users of Facebook. Often 10, 15 even 20 years, so in that regard I am not sure why they are going this direction other than the fact that it allows them to trim labor costs to some extent.
