Builders compared system user vs OAuth flows for Meta uploaders — @mb29266 runs 500/day on an unreviewed basic app with zero bans while @rockdm went through full Meta review. Key rules: don't pull analytics aggressively from Claude, batch videos 5-10 at a time. Parallel AdsPower MCP thread confirmed profile open/close is safe but Claude/Codex refuse FB navigation as detection evasion.
@jcartu made the case that Hermes with Opus orchestrating is current SOTA despite higher token cost. Multiple members reported Claude quality degradation (suspected quant reduction) while Codex follows rules better on long tasks. OpenClaw users are migrating, @rmktg is managing Hermes deployments for others, and @Kieran dropped Claude.md/PRDs entirely for superpowers.
Coy's animated mushroom character supplement ad sparked discussion on cheap-to-produce VSL formats (local gen + Kie for hooks). @Coybh cited ~15% trust lift from brand mascots; @yangthegoat shared hookrate_ and pushed against Pixar-slop defaults. @drcopybymatt is building a TikTok ads launcher (easier API than Meta), with @arielletolome wanting drag-and-drop scheduling.
geilt demoed Codex iOS app with persistent SSH/tmux sessions syncing Mac Mini, MacBook, and phone — latest update fixed SSH sharing. Cursor SDK launched with 90% off Composer 2.5 this weekend for agent building. @samb69 and @expadz compared Termius + tmux + mosh setups. cmux adoption continues with Steipete joining.
@Wootbro shared replacing Shopify + Klaviyo + OMS + WhatsApp with a custom $100/month stack built in 90-120 days — done for customization, not cost. Triggered Shopify $500-$50k/month custom checkout pricing debate. @sav310's OAuth poll landed on Clerk for ease (Supabase/Cloudflare also considered). @wizardwu flagged Commslayer shutdown; ReEngage.ai is the new FB mod recommendation.
Key Takeaways
- Meta API: 500 ads/day on unreviewed basic app via system user is safe if you don't hammer for analytics; batch videos 5-10 at a time; API campaigns spend faster than manual.
- Hermes + Opus is being called current SOTA for precision orchestration; Codex now beats Claude for daily coding as Claude quality reportedly drops from quant reduction.
- Codex iOS app supports persistent SSH/tmux across devices — always-on Mac Mini as bridge is the emerging cross-device coding pattern.
- AdsPower MCP safe for profile ops and health checks only; Claude/Codex refuse FB navigation as policy violation — use FB API or RPA instead.
- Brand mascots give ~15% trust lift but everyone defaults to Pixar/clay style — diversify with audience-nostalgia prompting; ReEngage.ai replaces shut-down Commslayer for FB comment moderation.
