My take on the bans at Warpcast. The main pitch of Farcaster is that it's like Twitter, but without the bots, spammers, and toxic folks.
The crypto community loves Farcaster for its coziness and comfort. It's like being in a restaurant where you don't get hassled by a bum, a promo guy, or a drunk troublemaker, stealing your time away from hanging out with friends.
That's what people pay registration fees for, buy paid mints, and create proof of work in the form of content.
It's about your reputation: you're part of our pack and you won't be smearing the walls of our shared home with crap.
As you might guess, there's no talk of decentralization in the UI. It's only at the protocol level. Because without it, anyone with enough money could come into your house and happily smear your walls with crap.
But let's say the system glitches and I get unfairly banned on Warpcast. What would be the main reason for me to reach out to tech support or directly to the founders, and what could I offer them instead of personal insults?
I could show them the clear value I've brought to this social network and convince them that I wasn't the one smearing crap on the walls of our shared home.
I suggest creating a rating for each user and periodically minting it onchain, marking a snapshot of your social capital.
