- [Analise] Did you see him move? It was like—
[Analise] I don’t know! He just touched the line and ran off?!
[Dylan] What in the hail do you thank you two are yellin’ about?!
- Should we all Lens client open up free profile minting? Whats the builder sentiment?
- [Analise] …Sir…?
[Analise] Why isn’t he moving?
[Analise] Sir—whoa!
[Mason] Where did he go?!
- [Analise] …Sir…?
[Analise] Why isn’t he moving?
[Analise] Sir—whoa!
[Mason] Where did he go?!

let's build the future of content distribution on web3 rails.
@lens/lens @lens/stani
- Oh oh something is about to happen
- [Analise] Hey! Don’t— **Hey**!
- @lens/jacqs can help us get set up with our own Club? It would be really helpful for us to get all our stories in the same place and we requested a few weeks ago. Seems like most lens client/project has theirs expect us.
Let me know if I should make a request somewhere in TG or GitHub.
Thank you

- There's a subtle distinction between the Sun orbiting the Earth and the Earth orbiting the Sun. Likewise, there's a subtle difference between a startup leveraging an IP and an IP initiating a protocol!
Web3 is a Copernican revolution... and yet most projects are still building like the Sun orbits the earth...
- [Analise] Probably would’ve finished a little faster if Dylan and his goons would get out of
the dang truck and help. Lazy punks.
[Analise] It’s just like—
[*silence - approximately 30 seconds*]
- If you are discovering @lens/analise 's **Metal Man** on Orb, you can also find the entire episode on crypto-z.com!
- [Analise] So you’ve met Mason. All that blonde hair blue eyes, that boy’s the only thing that keeps me sane on this job, I swear.
He’s a lil older than me, but he’s pretty new too — been here ‘bout a year longer than I have. He’s a hard worker.
- [Analise] Yep. Ain’t stoppin’ ‘til the job’s done.
[Mason] Attagirl. See ya in a bit.
*pertinent information: I climb back up the pole. It takes a minute or two.*
- I see a worrisome trend in Lens and Farcaster.
In the name of filtering for high quality content we create censorship tools against bots and spam... But here is the contradiction... All these protocol and clients compete one thing: DAU.
Daily Active User is the only metric for valuing success. And the number of Followers is the only metric to get "reach" and distribution.
Same thing with the new unsavory "score" metric that Hey has implemented...
The reality is that builders are only making it harder and harder for future user to get started. New users will have to compete against bots, OG profiles, and new hidden censorship tools..
The most worrisome is moderating for "Quality" as if there some consensus around the definition of quality.
Most content is low-quality because the incentive to gain highest DAU or highest Follower count.
Bots are the symptom not the disease... If you treat the symptom you let the disease spread.
Crypto-Z is an example of an application where discovery is uncorrelated with Follows or DAU.
- [Mason] Yeah… speakin’ of which, you want your headlamp? I’m thinkin’ ‘bout grabbin’
mine.
[Analise] Yeah, sure.
*pertinent information: recording is unintelligible for approximately two minutes*
[Analise] Thanks.
[Mason] Sure. Headed back up yer pole?
- Metal Man continues...

@lens/nilesh
Following in this bug that wasn't fix
@lens/selwe
You also have a bug on your markdown _italic_
*Italic* editor
@lens/nilesh also reasking if we could have our own Club we are the only storytelling and narrative driven Lens client and writers community.
Music and AI art is well represented but fiction writing is underappreciated on lens.
- crypto-z.com is best for crypto-z content.
hey is best for hey content.
- Web3 Social doesn't have to be addictive or attention grabby.
It can be discrete and intimately embbed into your everyday entertainment experience.
@lens/stani @lens/christina
Only possible with web3
- Today update's: improved wallet UX
- Privy vs ThirdWeb Connect vs ???
What is your favorite wallet Account Abstraction enabled solution?
- [Analise] ‘Fore I got up here, I talked to the Sheriff. I think he’s creole, but he don’t have an accent like anyone else around here. Tall feller. Seemed interested in what we’re doin’. Called us “*lifesavers*” for “*fixin this little town a his.*” Seems like a nice dude, but y’know. Gives me the creeps.
- [Analise] But, it turns out the news was showin’ the worst parts of Falkville. Thankfully
there ain’t that much structural damage, though it wreaked havoc on the dairy farm down the road.
[Analise] When we were drivin’ in, we passed a tangled up powerline with a cow all
wrapped up in the wires. I think it was still alive. They let me work further down th’road, thank goodness.
- improving Direct DM between Agents
- [Analise] A tornado bulldozed Falkville early this morning. It’s destroyed. Homes, the
school…it’s all belly up. Trees done fell over the road, people are trapped…Falkville, Alabama ain’t nothin’ but a crater now.
[Analise] Everything’s down, even the news station. I guess they ain’t got fundin’ for
generators.
- *Recording date: April 9, 2035*
*Recording time: 9:17 A.M. EST*
[Analise] Hi logs. I just wanted to talk about th’aftermath of the tornado.
[Analise] I’m up a pole n’ you’re shoved down in my titty pocket. Sorry. Hope I ain’t too
muffled. But uh…from up here, it looks like chaos.
- Soo mintable!!
Ps: artifacts minted on Crypto-Z alsoo earn points
- *pertinent information: I start recording inside the vehicle taking my crew to the site.*
[Mason] Ana, don’t look.
[Analise] — What?
[Mason] — Keep yer eyes down—
[Analise] — Oh god. Mason, what is that?
- *Recording date: April 9, 2035*
*Recording time: 8:36 A.M. EST*
[Analise] –––––– Hello logs. It’s currently ten-thirty-eight in the morning on April twenty-fifth,
twenty-thirty-five. My name is Analise Strong, and I’ve stumbled onto something I can just barely begin to understand.
- @lens/dankshard
So no one seems to know exactly what Publication Weighing.
It is an opaque alogorythm that supposedly censors none sense post.. but I can't wrap my mind around why would Lens meddle in filtering content based on quality judgement.
