How I ended up with two Farcaster rap sheets, and why I'm sharing them. For every banned account, Farcaster published a "rap sheet" at a public endpoint, no login needed: api.farcaster.xyz/v2/network-code/public-rap-sheet?fid=<fid> It listed each flagged post, the charge and section of the code, what the post was replying to, and how many people block or mute the account. While building my Farcaster client, I had wired that endpoint into it, so people could see why an account was banned. I shared a few previews publicly on Oct 25 and early morning of Oct 26. Early morning Oct 26 Farcaster locked it; it now returns "Authentication required." Two sheets were still in my app's cache: @cassie and @kevinmfer. This isn't to smear anyone. It's so people can see what the Network Code actually moderates.

Dickasso made me chuckle. I love creative swear words @kevinmfer Did you know that rudeness is a cultural concept? Some cultures swear words stay above the belt line, while others below it. So hope they trained the AI to be sensitive to different cultures and didn't just apply one uniform (US american rule). That would marginalise communities. My family would have been banned. All 4 teenagers and me. Maybe even MIL and her sisters as it can get rude when they are playing poker...
They definitely didn’t. It also doesn’t take into account context you’re talking about. This was one of my posts. Never met a human thay wouldn’t agree with “fuck cancer” regardless of how uptight they are speech wise haha
@kevinmfer wasnt banned until they casted the balaji video, would have expected those to show on the sheet Auth means only you can see your own sheet if you're signed in with your account, not the sheet of others?
Maybe the cache only saved his sheet partially? Not sure what the explanation there. I think you can only fetch 3 of the posts from your rap sheet if you’re auth’d like the ones they showed in the fc client prior.
